# Sol

Sol is a simple renderer that I wrote for my bachelor's thesis. It currently

supports ray casting and a basic ray tracing algorithm.

## Build instructions

```

make

```

## Usage

To render your own scene:

1. Write a new world file and put it into `worlds/`. Check the other files

   there for an example on how to do that.

2. Replace the world `#include` directive in `sol.cpp` with your own.

3. Rebuild by running `make`.

3. `sol -H  -V  -s  -S jittered`

The output image will be saved as `output.bmp`.

There's also `sol --help` to see all supported flags.
