I’ve been building a Wolfenstein 3D / ES: Arena-style renderer from scratch in plain JavaScript on the HTML5 Canvas. This isn’t WebGL; it’s a real, authentic, old-school raycaster using the same techniques as those games: per-column DDA ray stepping on a 2D grid, proper distance-corrected texturing, floor/ceiling casting, a z-buffer for sprite occlusion, Archways, Mid Textures, Portal Approximation, the works.

This last update smooths out Firefox support, smoother performance, and a bunch of gameplay/visual upgrades. If you’re into retro tech or just curious how 90s 3D was faked, give it a spin and tell me what you think.
