A (toy) ray tracer in Java

To-Do

• A better CLI?
• Scene files as CLI options
• Instrumentation
  • Metrics
  • Logging
• Refactoring
  • More idiomatic Java
  • Better variable names
  • Shape is a catch-all in Scene - that should be a better abstraction
• Java 11?
• External scene files (OBJ? PLY? STL? Something else?)
  • Will need to add generic triangle meshes
  • ANTLR parsing
• Moving images
  • Dynamic camera
• Distributed cluster (Akka? gRPC? HTTP?)
