Well, now we're well into the year. We were working on "if" statements, so I made a blue square that bounces around. Then I worked more on my raytracer, which now draws blue spheres. You would think I like the color blue.
It also reads the scene from a text file. That's a big improvement from my original hardcoding.
I guess I now have to figure out how to display planes. Actually, it should take all of five minutes; spheres are defined by a quadratic equation (the method I use for solving those was actually another class assignment), while planes are linear. Then, after I combine planes to make cubes, I just need to implement reflection!
Here's my first shaded picture. It's slightly off, but the colors are just makeshift until I work out a lighting engine, if I ever do. Actually, the person who sits right next to me was talking about making one... I wonder if he'd do it for me. Probably not, though. Oh well.
Doesn't the blue look nice, though?
