# raytracer

![Example of raytracer output](sample.png)

A simple ray tracer written in Rust following

[this tutorial](https://raytracing.github.io/books/RayTracingInOneWeekend.html).

## running

To run this you'll need Rust and cargo installed, as well as a way to view ppm images (I'm using 

[ImageGlass](https://imageglass.org/)).

```

# run the raytracer and output to test.ppm

cargo run > out.ppm

# ...grab a coffee or something...you'll be waiting a while

# In WSL2 you can use this to automatically open in the default app

wslview out.ppm

```
