A truly 2D game isn't what you think it is...

Hey folks! It's been a while, and I'm back with a pretty different type of video that my previous ones! In the video, I talk about my journey to create a simple 2D renderer, from a first-person perspective. It's a pretty unintuitive concept to understand in the first place, much less actually implement in code, but I'm very proud of the result I ended up with! I also spent a lot of time and effort working on the video itself, visualizations and all, so I really hope you enjoy it. I really do think this is my best video yet.
I was also very inspired by ‪@SebastianLague‬ & ‪@CodeParade‬ in making this video, so if you enjoyed it, be sure to check out their channels as well.
