    The framerate should get faster as you approach a wall.  There are two 
algorithms you can use for a raycaster.(for a simple one anyway)  One is much 
faster than the other.  I think that it is possible to make on the TI-83, but 
I am not sure how well the display would be since you are limited to either 
black or white.

<< Hello everyone,
 
 I'm interested in writing or adapting a raycaster for the TI83. Since
 Defiance, Maze3D and of course Daedalus are very nice pieces of code and run
 at an acceptable FPS, I think it should be possible to port one to the 83(+
 anyone?). I've discovered however, that, unlike PC games, TI83 games drop
 the framerate when you get up-close to a wall. Even Defiance (82) with it's
 pseudo 3D engine has this thing. What can you do about it? >>
