In the root folder compile with make
Then you can run the produced executable however you wish, specifying the input file path with the -f flag, such as: ./raytracer.x -f scenes/example1.xml
Alternatively, you can generate output files for examples 1 through 3 by running make exec in the project root.
You can also get rid of objects files with make clean, artifacts (ppms and executables) with make clean-artifacts or everything with make full-clean
The raytracer takes XML files describing the scene it should render as input, adhering to this specification.
The main reason for choosing C was to explore procedural programming and its patterns and methods in larger projects, so I deliberately chose to avoid OOP.
My code should compile on any machine with gcc and make installed. I tried to adhere to this style guide while programming.
