TCOD_Error TCOD_map_compute_fov(TCOD_Map *map, int pov_x, int pov_y, int max_radius, bool light_walls, TCOD_fov_algorithm_t algo)

Calculate the field-of-view.

pov_x and pov_y are the used as the field-of-view source. These coordinates must be within the map.

max_radius is the maximum distance for the field-of-view algorithm.

If light_walls is false then only transparent cells will be touched by the field-of-view.

algo is one of the TCOD_fov_algorithm_t algorithms.

After this call you may check if a cell is within the field-of-view by calling TCOD_map_is_in_fov().

Returns an error code on failure. See TCOD_get_error() for details.
