Ray Casting floor with HTML canvas

I am coding a small Javascript/ HTML-canvas Wolfenstein style game. I am following Permadi tutorial.

For now I did suceed to implement the textured wall raycasting. What I want to do now is to do the floor raycasting.

As far as I understand, when I finish to draw a slice of wall, I have to check if it reaches the bottom of the canvas. If not, that means there is a floor to be rendered underneath it. So I grab every pixel from the bottom of the wall to the bottom of the canvas, calculate their coordinates in "real-world", grab their texture and draw them on the screen.

I am using these two schemas for my calculations.

enter image description here enter image description here

These is my code:

//we check if the wall reaches the bottom of the canvas
    // this.wallToBorder = (400 - wallHeight) / 2;
    if (this.wallToBorder > 0) {
      // we calculate how many pixels we have from bottom of wall to border of canvas
      var pixelsToBottom = Math.floor(this.wallToBorder);

      //we calculate the distance between the first pixel at the bottom of the wall and the player eyes (canvas.height / 2)
      var pixelRowHeight = 200 - pixelsToBottom;

      // then we loop through every pixels until we reach the border of the canvas
      for (let i = pixelRowHeight; i < 200; i++) {

        // we calculate the straight distance between the player and the pixel
        var directDistFloor = this.screenDist * (canvas.height/2) / Math.floor(i);
        
        // we calculate it's real world distance with the angle relative to the player
        var realDistance = directDistFloor / Math.cos(this.angleR);

        // we calculate it's real world coordinates with the player angle
        this.floorPointx = this.player.x + Math.cos(this.angle) * realDistance;
        this.floorPointy = this.player.y - Math.sin(this.angle) * realDistance;

        // we map the texture
        var textY = Math.floor(this.floorPointx % 64);
        var textX = Math.floor(this.floorPointy % 64);

        var pixWidthHeight = (1 / realDistance) * this.screenDist;
        if (pixWidthHeight < 1) pixWidthHeight = 1;
        // we draw it on the canvas
        this.ctx.drawImage(wallsSprite, textX, textY + 64, 1, 1, this.index, i + 200, pixWidthHeight, pixWidthHeight);
      }
    }

But The result is not I am expecting:

Here is my project in StackBlitz. What I am doing wrong?

Solution

  • There are two small mistakes in your code.

    var directDistFloor = this.screenDist * (canvas.height/2) / Math.floor(i);

    This should calculate the distance between the player and a floor tile. If we look up the actual value of this.screenDist we can see:

    this.screenDist = (canvas.width / 2) / Math.tan((30 * Math.PI) / 180);

    So there is no relation to a floor tile. screenDist should mirror the 'height' of a floor tile - 64 pixels in your case - which is determined as property mapS of the Map class. Change the above line to this:

    var directDistFloor = ((this.map.mapS / Math.tan((30 * Math.PI) / 180)) * (canvas.height/2)) / i;

    The second bug is lurking here:

    this.floorPointy = this.player.y - Math.sin(this.angle) * realDistance;

    as you need to add the sine to the player's vertical position.

    Just as a side note: In your floor drawing algorithm, you're literally abusing the drawImage() method to draw individual pixels. This is a huge bottleneck. A quick fix would be reading the pixel's color from your texture map and use fillRect() instead. There's still room for improvement though.

    Here's your modified code:

    var wallsSprite = new Image();
wallsSprite.crossOrigin = "anonymous";
let tempCanvas = document.createElement("canvas");
let context = tempCanvas.getContext("2d");
let pixelData;
wallsSprite.onload = function(e) {
  context.drawImage(e.target, 0, 0, e.target.naturalWidth, e.target.naturalHeight);
  pixelData = context.getImageData(0, 0, tempCanvas.width, tempCanvas.height).data;
  animate();
}
