RayTrayCpp2

RayTrayCpp2 is a Ray Tracing application written entirely using the experimental C++ alternative syntnax: Cpp2.

The goal of this personal project is to showcase and experiment with Cpp2. I am trying to make it as Cpp2-idiomatic as possible, though I think we are still discovering what that means.

Usage

To build this project you will need Modern CMake's cppfront Wrapper. You will need to provide the cppfront_DIR to CMake. I am currently using cppfront with the following flags:

• -in to avoid modules for the time being
• -no-s because disabling bounds-checking yielded a 20x speedup. Also currently it is not possible to index arrays in a consteval context, even when both the size of the array and the index are known constants.
• Currently definitely lacks proper namespacing

Credits

• This implementation follows the Ray Tracing In One Weekend tutorial.

• This project is inspired by mraylib.

• A fresh take on C++ evolution: Cpp2

• Syntax highlighting for Cpp2, massively helpful!
