C++ shadowcasting implementation


A C++ implementation of Bjorn Bergstrom’s recursive shadowcasting FOV algorithm. It’s mostly a port of the Python version. However it is not a working, compilable program, but rather just an example you can use as a starting point.

The code has unsigned int typedef’d to uint, and uses it where appropiate.

#include <cmath>

typedef unsigned int uint;

static int multipliers[4][8] = {
    {1, 0, 0, -1, -1, 0, 0, 1},
    {0, 1, -1, 0, 0, -1, 1, 0},
    {0, 1, 1, 0, 0, -1, -1, 0},
    {1, 0, 0, 1, -1, 0, 0, -1}
};


class Map {
    public:
        Map() {};

        void set_visible(uint x, uint y, bool visible) {
            // Set the visibility of the cell at the given position.
        }

        uint get_width() const {
            // Return the width of the map.
            return 0;
        }

        uint get_height() const {
            // Return the height of the map.
            return 0;
        }

        bool is_opaque(uint x, uint y) const {
            // Return whether the given position holds an opaque cell.
            return false;
        }
};

        float start_slope, float end_slope, uint xx, uint xy, uint yx,
