This repository is newly created. My goal is to refactor my old code which was written a long time ago. Refactoring process is still ongoing. The old repository is available here. Different versions of the Ray Tracer are provided below. Version at the top is the latest. Each version contains:

• Brief explanations of what is being added.
• Resulting images.
• Bugs that I have encountered and my solutions to them.
• My personal experiences.
• If applicable, time comparisons of different implementations.
