Rust. A ray tracer. The dream of WebAssembly. One dangerous idea that could ruin everything.
This was the scene at the end of my last post, which covered creating a ray tracer in Rust using Peter Shirley’s outstanding Ray Tracing in One Weekend. In the wrap-up to that post, I…
Two classes stand out as my favorites from computer science at NCSU: x86 assembly, taught by Dana Lasher, and computer graphics, taught by Stuart Heinrich. In the graphics course, we wrote a rasterizer and a ray tracer (which I never finished 😅).
In the 16 years since, I’ve bee…

A year ago, I had the joy of working on Digital Motion, an interactive
art exhibit for Raleigh’s annual art festival, SPARKcon.
The month leading up to SPARKcon 2014 was a mad dash of perfecting the graphics
and physics equations of my DiMo: Particles display. After a
wonderful w…

Red, nice choice! The scene is now slightly more interesting, since now you’ve
got two dots to…
