I'm making a raycaster, and the walls are warping. I've tried multiplying by cos(dir) but it just molds all of the world together.

<((x) ^ ((1) / (y))::operators) = ((y) √ (x)::operators)> // is false if x < 0???

The problem is you're only comparing the direction of the ray. The direction of the ray is relative to the direction of the player, so to get less warped walls, you have to change this:

add ((distance to (player v)) * ([cos v] of (direction))) to [dist v]

to this:

add ((distance to (player v)) * ([cos v] of ((direction) - ([direction v] of (player v))))) to [dist v]

This should fix the warping, hope this helps!
Edit: the reason why it's still slightly warped is because you're using

move (5) steps

This is quite a big step, and trades accuracy for rendering speed. You can keep it at 5 steps, or lower it to 2 or 3 for less warping.

Thank you so much! I forgot to add the not to the move -0.5 block as well, now it works great!
