what are some other tutorials for implementing a toy version of a hard thing in a short amount of time? Like https://implement-dns.wizardzines.com or https://raytracing.github.io
Iβm especially interested in the βin a short amount of timeβ aspect, I think nand2tetris is extremely cool but you definitely canβt do it in 3 days.
If possible I'd love to hear about a project you personally did and how long it took you.
@b0rk It certainly pales in comparison to other guides, but you can complete my guide to raytracing in a few hours. I wrote it over the course of a week.
Since I started programming Iβve had a dream in the back of my mind: raytracers are super cool, and Iβd like to build one myself. But with that dream accompanied another thought: raytracers are nearly a pure expression of math, a discipline I am poorly qualified for. However this winter I discovered a new programming community, OneLoneCoder, and its leader, javidx9. Watching the videos produced by javidx9 inspired me to take a leap of faith in myself and start this raytracing project. The result has been amazing to see unfold as I developed first a working prototype in C#, then in C++, and finally as I produced what hopefully is an easy to follow βtutorialβ style Git repository. So, lets dive in!
