Since foone is making #VisualBasic trend, just a reminder to check out my fun #vb4 projects, if you want. Including the OpenGL demo and the GDI-based raycaster, #vbray (see hashtag for source link): https://mastodon.social/@indigoparadox/113360125091578147
It's not VB6 but VB4 is just as good IMO. Even better, since it can run in Windows 3.x!

I've been focusing on minput-hop this weekend, so I figured I'd drop what I'd done so far on #vbray into a release for the #vb4 fans out there: https://github.com/indigoparadox/vbray/releases/tag/0.24.2
This version loads levels from CSV and sprites from ICO, and has lower resolution display options and (very wonky) optional mouse controls! Also a fancy custom icon! Go to File > Open and browse to the CSVs in the install directory to begin! If you want! 😌

I sat down for an hour or two and made a very silly thing that's been on my mind for a while. "What if I did a raycaster, but instead of drawing the lines with pixels, I drew them with a control array of GDI lines in #vb4 ?"
It's been a while since I went wild with cos() and sin(), so I referred heavily to Lodev's tutorial as a refresher on this one (doing it in VB4 is transformative HBomberGuy please do not make a four hour video on me). 🤷♀️
