Hello world! I have been using ray tracers for quite some time now,
and I have made many changes to some of them, so I though it was time for
me to write a ray tracer. So there it is! It is not supposed to be fast
or anything, but I think it is well commented and easy to understand.
It is very simple also.
I am willing to give it to anyone that wants it. Unfortunately,
I don't think I can put it in a place where people can ftp to, so if you
want it, please send me mail. I'm sure I can put it in some public place
later.
The ray tracer currently supports only spheres, with ambient,
diffuse, specular lighting, together with reflections and refractions.
I don't use any in-line code for the vector routines, but subroutines, for
readability.
Hope someone will want to play around with it.
