Raycasting
----------
Features:
* Ambient, specular, and diffuse light
* Spheres, planes
* Multiple views
To Do:
* more flexible checkerboard (checker size based on defining vectors)
* finite planes (triangles, squares)
* Optimize diffuse light (no need to look up at each bounce)
fuzzy light hashing -
right now light gets calculated many times for very similar intersections.
* Optimize until realtime ascii rendering is possible
* refactor to use origin, vector representations instead of rays, and
factor out everything mathy
* figure out proper way to add light - logarithmically, I imagine?
Not planning to impement at this time:
* Color - light emitted from an object - color = green
