Ray Tracing in One Weekend

This project is a simple implementation of the concepts from Peter Shirley's Ray Tracing in One Weekend book series. The series is an excellent introduction to ray tracing and consists of three books:

1. Ray Tracing in One Weekend
2. Ray Tracing: The Next Week
3. Ray Tracing: The Rest of Your Life

This implementation focuses on the first book, and the code is written in Rust.
