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
