A simple ray tracer

I'm making a ray tracer for fun.

At the moment I'm closely following the blog tutorials from Brook Heisler's blog.

Run from command line

Run the example from the root directory with cargo run. This produces a file test.png.

Build

If it is a long time since build, run rustup update to update deps. Then run cargo build.

Run in browser

Run npm run serve. This uses WebAssembly to do the ray tracing in the browser. Open your browser on localhost:8080.

Run/fix prettier

Check:

npm run prettier -- --check .

Write:

npm run prettier -- --write .
