A tutorial series teaching how to build a Wolfenstein-like retro first-person shooter from scratch in Swift. It covers raycasting, grid-based maps, pathfinding, and line-of-sight techniques without requiring GPU or shader knowledge.

Use cases

• learn to build a retro FPS game engine in Swift
• understand how Wolfenstein 3D raycasting works
• learn 2.5D game rendering without shaders
• prototype procedural map generation and pathfinding
• follow a step-by-step game programming tutorial
• build a first-person shooter for iPhone and iPad

When to choose

• you want to learn game engine fundamentals from scratch in Swift
• you prefer tutorials that avoid complex 3D math and GPU programming
• you want to understand raycasting, pathfinding, and line-of-sight on tile grids
• you're targeting iOS or any platform that runs Swift

When to avoid

• you need a production-ready game engine or modern 3D graphics
• you want to use an existing engine like Unity or Godot
• you need GPU-accelerated rendering with shaders
• you're not comfortable with Swift and Xcode
