Do you think it might be a little patronizing to assume people don't understand that text inside notepad is being used as a display when there is a video showing it off?
- dixie_land 4y agoExactly. The idea is neat but it's no different than the mini ray tracer you write in graphics 101, with the twist that the output "frame" buffer is the text buffer of notepad
- soheil 4y agoI was referring to possibly not knowing about Ray Tracing which is a technique and a subset of the field of computer graphics and thus possibly not understanding its computational complexity, I don't know why you're upset at me.
- CyberDildonics 4y agoEven kids know what ray tracing is these days, it's used in video games to sell graphics cards. Teenagers write ray tracers in undergrad classes. This example is a cube and plane with one light. It is lines from the camera checked for collision against triangles then a line from the collision point checked against a light. Checking for collision against a triangle is just checking collision against the infinite plane and checking if that point is inside the triangle. What is the "significance" you are talking about? This is something common with an uncommon display.
