+// Demonstrates how raycasting works. The left side shows
+// the 2D layout of the walls and player. The green lines
+// represent the field of view of the player.
+//
+// The right side is a simple 3D projection of the field
+// of view.
+//
+// There is no collision detection so yes, you can walk
+// through walls.
+//
+// Watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYRrGTC7GtA to
+// learn more on how this code works. There are some silly
+// digressons in the video but the tech content is spot on.
