I think I am getting a hang on that "shadow" thing.

so far I found two ways of doing computer graphics:

- be smart, undertand all the math and just doing it right from the first try. Never works for me.

- keep adding debug visualisation until the problem is reduced to something trivial and accessible.

Maybe, one day, I'll learn enough to do stuff the smart way. Maybe..

The coolest thing about this demo - it has 15s clean compilation time.

"cargo clean && cargo run" takes 15s, on a an old t480.

Just "cargo run" usually takes ~0.5s.

Rust is crazy fast to compile!

@fedor In my experience, debug visualizations are essential. If someone is really smart and can do something right the first time, they are the only one who can work on it ever. With debug visualizations, a super complex thing can become more understandable to others. It's similar to accessibility features in a way.

@fedor I'd argue that adding debug visualization from the start is the smart way!
You *are* gonna need it sooner or later, and doing it sooner saves a lot of time in the long run.
Plus it usually looks cool.
