TS RayCasting is tiny and fast raycast library written in Typescript.

castRay(map: number[][], x: number, y: number, intersection: testintersection, rayRot: number): IRay

Will cast ray from position in map, which is two-dimensional world of numbers, where every number means a specific wall. To check if ray already hit a wall, there's intersection callback. If testfunction returns false, then it'll stop casting ray further and it means that wall was hit.

castRays(map: number[][], x: number, y: number, rot: number, intersection: testintersection, config: IRayConf = defaultConfig): IRay[]

Will cast several rays from position in map, which is two-dimensional world of numbers, where every number means a specific wall. rot is direction of camera or caster. To check if ray already hit a wall, there's intersection callback. If testfunction returns false, then it'll stop casting ray further and it means that wall was hit.

type testintersection = (row: number, column: number, dist: number, index: number) => boolean;

It's same callback in both castRay and castRays function, where is put a logic of hitting a wall. If testFunctions returns false, it'll stop casting ray further (specific ray, not all rays in castRays function).
