Pygame 6DoF Ray Caster

PySiDoCast is a Python module that allows you to render 3D scenes using Pygame images.

Warning There is no GPU support for the moment: The rendering is made on the CPU only.

Installation

To install PySiDoCast, simply use pip:

pip install pysidocast

Usage

Here is a basic example of how to use PySiDoCast to render a 3D scene:

import pygame
from pysidocast import Scene

# Initialize Pygame
pygame.init()
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((480, 480))

# Load an image using pygame
image = pygame.image.load(".\\img.png").convert_alpha()  # using ".convert_alpha()" is MANDATORY

# Create a new Scene
scene = Scene()

# Add the image into the scene
scene.add_wall(image, (-1, 2, 3), (1, 0, 1))

# Main Loop
while True:

    # Render the scene
    scene.render(screen, (0, 1, 0), 0, 90, fov=60)

    # Update the screen
    pygame.display.update()

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            exit()
