First Person Perspective Flatland Game

Edwin A. Abbott wrote Flatland in 1884. He designed a 2D world in which polygons live and interact. He described the society of these 'Flatlanders,' and emphasized how important shape recognition is to the class system in Flatland: the more sides a polygon has, the higher class he has. This game recreates the world of Flatland and places the player as A Square in Flatland. This game also set in a first person perspective from a Flatlander: you see a one dimensional image.

Ok, so here is an overview of the game:

• First Person Perspective (I built a simple raytracer to render the view)
• Character: A Square
• Plot: A Square's Grandson ran away and you have to find him.
• Programmed 100% in Java.
• Controls:
  • Move mouse to look left and right
  • WASD/Arrow Keys to move
