Sonotsugipaa / Raycast

Raycast is a very simple Javascript-based 2D application that showcases... well, the ancient technique of ray-casting.
It's basically a web application that runs on Node.js.

Requirements

• Node.js
  • npm

Prepare and run

Before being able to run the web app, the Node package needs to (locally) install its dependencies.
In order to do that, run "npm install" in your shell.

To start the server, run "node index.js <PORT>" or "node . <PORT>" where <PORT> is the port you want the server to listen to.
The default port is 80, and common ports usually need the program to be run as root / administrator.

To use the application, use your web browser to visit the server.
For example, if the server has been started using the command "node . 3000", the application's URL is http://localhost:3000/raycast/index.html, but visiting http://localhost:3000/ is supposed to redirect you to the correct page.
If you want to specify a resolution, use the "res" query field, for example using the URL "http://localhost:3000/raycast/index.html?res=1600x900".
