Yeah sorry about that. I had seen a website that explained the math and theory involved and I assumed that once I saw the basic structure for the algorithm in code I could have gone from there.

Wait wait wait... How did you get it to run so fast!?
Very nice all my experiments with ray-casting were too slow! But this...

Wow, I hope I can someday understand how to create a fast raycasting engine o.o This just amazing !

Someone could probably use this engine to make a Portal game. :D

Unfortunately raycasters by definition don't let you look up, look down, pan up, or pan down in any way :/

Oh. Maybe someone should implement it.

What he's saying is it's impossible to do, the way raycasters work.  You'd need some sort of true 3D engine.

Oh. Well it would be cool to make something like this for a Portal game.

The only way to do it would be (as mentioned earlier) to write a real 3D engine, which would most likely be too slow to do decent speed rendering on it...thought I think thepenguin777 may have written one for Starfox or something...

Edit: Actually the really processor-demanding task would be the 3D portal physics engine that you'd have to write...

3D portal physics wouldn't be nearly has hard as writing the graphics engine i think, coming from experience from PortalX.
