A whirlwind tour of creating an F# version of the classic Wolfenstein 3D
summary
An F# reimplementation reproduces Wolfenstein 3D by writing a column-wise raycaster using DDA raycasting to step grid cells, maps using 64x64 textures, and per-column texture blitting into a canvas byte buffer; it runs in the browser via Fable and as a desktop app via .NET + Silk.NET by rendering to a texture. Sprite orientation uses triangular/barycentric tests to pick animation frames, the raycaster doubles for enemy line-of-sight, and the demo runs smoothly.
