    Simple ray tracer written in Rust

  • the-ray-tracer-challenge-fsharp

    F# implementation of the ray tracer found in The Ray Tracer Challenge by Jamis Buck

  • I highly recommend the two books:

    Ray Tracing in One Weekend: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B5AODD8/

    The Ray Tracer Challenge: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1680502719/

    For the latter, I have made it a pretty good way through the book, implementing a functional (in the programming paradigm sense) version of the ray tracer in F#. It’s actually rather mind boggling how close the F# code and tests are to the psuedocode found in the book.
