Files

(set tab stop to 4 in order to view these files correctly)

• Ray.exe The executable file.
• RayMath.h RayMath.cpp These files contain the Vector and Matrix classes
• RayGraphics.h RayGraphics.cpp These files contain the classes Light, Color, and Eye
• RayObjects.h RayObjects.cpp These files contain the all geometric objects used in Ray
• setup.h Setup.cpp These file contains various constants to be used in Ray. Some commonly used function prototypes are used in this file. Some externed variables are also included so all files can access them.
• World.cpp This file creates the lights and all objects along with their parameters.
• TraceRay.cpp contains code to determine the coloring of a specified pixel.
• rayView.cpp This is the main function which calls all other functions. The windows code is also within this file. The windows code has been seperated from the C++ Ray code as much as possible.
• ray.rc windows resources to be used for the windows graphical interface. Data includes Ray about (under help) as well as personalized bitmaps used for the cursor and other icons.
• miscellaneous windows files. Contact the arthor if you need these files in order to compile the project (Some of these files are large).

Comments

All code has been compiled using VC++ for Windows95. This is my first project using VC++, so the windows code may not be structured as well as it could be.

I am getting a small amount of noise in some reflections. This error is currently being tracked down and should be fixed shortly.
