  • [x] focus on conversions between things
  • [x] focus on perfect right angles
  • [x] find and fix issues with intersection of perpendicular values

I have a PR to fix the perpendicular intersection bug using a Segment intersection test rather than relying on the Line slope intersection.

See: https://github.com/lefticus/raycasting/pull/6/files

Feel free to use as much or as little on stream as you'd like.

@kolbyb you're 100% correct that I should move to segment intersection tests instead. Particularly after I spent today tracking down the existing bugs. I'm going to take a slightly different approach than you, I think.

@lefticus - I ported my Cppyy branch back to Python. I highly suspect you won't be interested in taking any of the changes however, you might be interested in how I structured the code into modules. Perhaps it could be of use if you wanted to restructure the code in any way.

You can check out the commit here: https://github.com/kolbyb/raycasting/commit/7d2efc73de46bf2620bb0bebdeb116786e83d370

I do plan to eventually port all of this to C++, and it would be interesting to keep it in such a way that it can be used as C++/Cppyy/Python/whatever
