Simple Ray Tracer in C++
This project is part of the pair with HaskellTracer. When I evaluate new languages I like to write a ray tracer. This is because Ray Tracers are highly parallelizable, so it makes for a nice platform to learn about the concurrency stuff. It's also cpu bound, so it gives a nice idea of optimizations. Also, I've written the damned things so many times that it's not overly taxing but at the same time is more complex then a Hello World.
In any event, nothing Earth shattering here. If you're curious to compare trivial Ray Tracers in C++ and Haskell, this might prove interesting.
