rusty-raytracing-weekend

Following Ray Tracing in One Weekend to make a CPU raytracer but in Rust!

Progress:

1. Completed: Ray Tracing in One Weekend - Completed Code Here
2. Completed: Ray Tracing: The Next Week
3. Not Started: Ray Tracing: The Rest of Your Life
4. Not Started: Web port with wasm using wasm-bindgen and wasm-bindgen-rayon (?)

Goals

• Learn idiomatic Rust
• Find out what happens if you're inside a perfectly spherical mirror

Running

Render and show in window with default sizing 400 x 225:

cargo run --release

Render in FHD resolution, headless and save file with filename FHD.png:

cargo run --release -- -w 1920 -h 1080 -i -s -f "FHD.png"

See options:

cargo run --release -- --help

Dependency breakdown

• clap - Command line interface Parser
• glam - 3D math library, using it so I didn't have to implement vec operations
• pixels - Draw our vec<RGB value> (pixels) to window
• winit - Cross platform window manager/event handler
• rayon - Literal black box magic that multithreads ya code
• image - Image encode/decoder, used just to encode and save our vec<RGB value> as a png
