📝 move_right

Moves the player to the right (strafe) relative to their current facing direction, based on their directional vector and movement speed.

⚙️ Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
data	t_data*	Pointer to the main game data structure containing the player and map information.

🔁 Returns

Return value	Description
void	This function does not return a value.

📖 Description

The move_right function updates the player's position to strafe right relative to the direction they are currently facing. It calculates new potential coordinates by adding the player’s directional vector scaled by a constant movement speed (MOVE_SPEED) to the current position.

Before updating the player's position, the function checks for collisions using the is_wall function to ensure that the new position does not intersect a wall.
If there is no wall in the intended direction of movement, the player’s x and y coordinates are updated independently.

• The function first ensures that the data pointer is valid.
• The new potential position is calculated as:
  • new_x = player.x + player.dir_x * MOVE_SPEED
  • new_y = player.y + player.dir_y * MOVE_SPEED
• Each axis (x and y) is checked independently to allow smooth sliding along walls, enabling natural strafing movement.

💡 Example Usage

t_data data; // Game data structure containing the map and player info
// Assume data.player.dir_x and data.player.dir_y are set to the direction the player is facing

move_right(&data); // Moves the player right (strafe) if no wall is blocking the path
