This project showcases the power of C++ and SDL in creating efficient ray tracing animations. This simulation features a dynamic sun emitting rays and obstacles casting realistic shadows.
- Real-Time Ray Casting: Efficiently renders up to 10000 rays per frame using optimized algorithms.
- Dynamic Obstacles: Animated obstacles that move and interact with light rays, casting accurate shadows.
- Interactive Controls: Move the sun source with your mouse to see instant shadow updates.
- Optimized Rendering:
- Utilizes Bresenham's Circle Drawing Algorithm for fast and accurate circle rendering.
- Implements multi-threading to handle ray processing concurrently.
- Efficient pixel buffer management for smooth and responsive visuals.
- High Performance: Achieves real-time frame rates even with complex scenes and multiple rays.
- C++23: Leveraged modern C++ features for clean and efficient code.
- SDL2: Utilized for rendering graphics and handling user input.
- Multi-Threading: Implemented using C++
<thread>library to optimize ray processing. - Bresenham's Algorithm: Applied for efficient circle rendering.
