Features:

• Ambient, specular, and diffuse light

• Spheres, planes

• Multiple views

To Do:

• more flexible checkerboard (checker size based on defining vectors)

• finite planes (triangles, squares)

• Optimize diffuse light (no need to look up at each bounce) fuzzy light hashing - right now light gets calculated many times for very similar intersections.

• Optimize until realtime ascii rendering is possible

• refactor to use origin, vector representations instead of rays, and factor out everything mathy

• figure out proper way to add light - logarithmically, I imagine?

Not planning to impement at this time:

• Color - light emitted from an object - color = green
