2D map renderer

The project

FDF transforms a height map file into a navigable mesh. Each number represents the Z coordinate of a point, and the program projects the scene onto a 2D window.

Implementation

• Input map parsing and validation.
• Bresenham’s algorithm to rasterize each segment.
• Isometric projection through trigonometric transformations.
• Zoom, translation, rotation, and height scaling.
• Color gradients based on depth and elevation.

Result

The project combines C programming, manual memory management, mathematics, and an interactive graphics loop. It provides a visual example of low-level work and of turning data into an explorable representation.
