The 2D Raycasting Maze Game is a first-person 3D maze game similar to early titles like Wolfenstein 3D. It is developed using the C programming language and the SDL2 library to render a 3D world from a 2D map via raycasting. The player navigates through mazes while avoiding obstacles, with a goal of reaching the maze"s endpoint. The game runs on both macOS and Linux.
