Giants' shoulders

This is a tiny raytracer done in clojure script. It is based on a port from a Lisp ray tracer found in ANSI Common Lisp by Paul Graham.

You can find the Clojure version here

How to use

You need to install clojure-script, then you can compile the project with

cljsc src/ > hello.js

This will build the development version, accessible with hello-dev.html

Differences from the Clojure version

Some adaptations were made to replace the Swing UI by an HTML Canvas.

It seems range isn't available in clojure-script, thus I made a pretty ineficient drop-in replacement.

Clojurescript doesn't support structs, thus I replaced it with lists. Maps may have been a better substitute however.

Motivations

This was done to learn some clojure and especially with its brand new backend: clojurescript.
