Raytracing in a weekend

This is a TypeScript implementation of a simple Raytracer, which was made by following Peter Shirley's Raytracing in one weekend ebook.

We're targetting Canvas in a web browser as our rendering target to keep things simple.

Prerequisites

• Node 9.8 or above. There's a .nvmrc file in the root dir if you use nvm.
• The Ray Tracing in one weekend book from either here or on Kindle.

Setup

git clone https://github.com/luma/raytraceInAWeekend.git
cd raytraceInAWeekend/
npm i

Project layout

The source is TypeScript and we're using Webpack for asset compilation.

The basic structure is as follows

• dist/ the complied bundle created by Webpack.
• src/ the raw TypeScript source, the entry point is src/index.ts.
• index.html what you open in your browser to actually render anything.

Usage

npm run build
# Or for local dev
npm run watch

Then open index.html in your browser of choice.
