RayCast3D is a 3D Game Engine for Nintendo 3DS / PSVITA which runs under Lua Player Plus 3DS / [Lua Player Plus Vita](https://github.com/Rinnegatamante/lpp-vita).
It uses [RayCasting algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting) to generate a 3D world starting from a 2D map. It runs fullspeed on N3DS even with best accuracy values.
On O3DS it runs pretty good with accuracy value >= 2.
