The Ray Tracer Challenge

This repo contains the result of me working through the book, "The Ray Tracer Challenge: A Test Driven Guide to Your First 3D Renderer" by Jamis Buck.

This is complete up through the end of the book. The rest will be stuff I want to add (see the to-do lists below).

The following are improvements I want to make. Most of the ones relating to patterns come from the "Putting It Together" section of chapter 10, plus some things that POVRay has that I want to add. Once an item is checked, you can assume it's done.

General To-Dos:

• Motion blur.
• Antialiasing.
• Support other image formats?

To-Dos for Lights:

• Area lights/soft shadows.
• Spotlights.

To-Dos for Cameras:

• Focal blur.

To-Dos for Surfaces:

• Texture mapping.
• Normal perturbation.
• Other surfaces (Height fields, SORs, sweeps, etc.)

More to come...
