# Raytracer

This code has been tested on Linux and macOS, and with both Clang and GCC.

The following dependencies are *required*:

* CMake (to build the project)

* libpng

* X11 (available on macOS via XQuartz, or `sudo apt install libx11-dev` on Debian)

CMake should be able to find libpng and X11 automatically.

Instructions for building:

```bash

mkdir build

cd build

cmake ..

make

./raytracer ../scenes/snowman.txt

```

The `raytracer` executable accepts the following command-line options:

```

--no-gui        Disable the X11 GUI

-o    Change the output filename to 

-j           Use  threads for rendering

```
