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.
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.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!
