Yes, it's for wall to sprite collision except this is for the basketball in my 2K18 program which I now have been able to create a form of polygonal figures. The graphics are more primitive than the dinosaurs, yet I have been able to put alot of detail into it at the cost of graphics.
The game actually runs at a very surprising 30fps (Thx framemeister) given the amount of on screen sprites, overlays, textiles, and 3D imaging. (8600 individual 3D model scaled sprites on a 2D counterplane with an extra 50 Skin packs, 198 court overlays, 19 custom tracks, 6 variant fan and crowd animations in a generic stadium
in which I use the overlays for court design and also the benches. The hardest part of this process was making the stadium which took nearly 3 1/2 months to finish. There were about 3200 total different calculations used for it just to create a non collision stadium with custom backdrops and previously mentioned overlays.
The second hardest part was creating a fully polygonal 3D figure in a 8 bit program. I had much help with this step to recreate almost 600 individual custom players with interchangable sprite overlays for each individual player, coach, and ref. The designing was easy, my friend did it for me.
This game has taken up 3 gold membership passes and nearly 9 months out of my almost 16 year life (my birthday is tomorrow btw) which is why when I finally finish this game I wish you will all enjoy it, any more questions should be answered when i release a demo in a month or two. After I release the game, i will create a guide explaining everything, including raycasting. If you do however happen
to have the Spooky maze game, there is a small guide in there as well, yet mine will be guided in a step by step process which can easily be copy and pasted for any program so get ready everybody!!!! Yours truly...
PS if you happen to have the petit computer (alpha osx 1.01 aka Neptune) you will find the game petit world which also runs a polygonal code yet not as effective as raycaster but you can try it if you want.
