A raytracer written in OCaml, following Peter Shirley's mini-book
series [Raytracing in One Weekend][weekend].
A raytracer written in OCaml. It supports diffuse("matte") and
reflective("metallic") surfaces.
The design of the software roughly follows Peter Shirley's mini-book
series [Raytracing in One Weekend][weekend] which presents a raytracer
in C++. I've adopted the programming style to suit the OCaml's
functional style.
