==== Description: ====
The projects is  a C Ray Tracer simulator. Plus some other items such as :
Blender 3D Plugin and a GnuPlot performance report.

The purpose of this project was to measure the performance and the functional
occurrence (how many times a particular function is called in the process) in
order to understand the computational ongoing of the ray tracing algorithm. 

The project so far uses float math computation in order to measure maximum
performance in regular PC's. Now the efforts are focused on implementing the
simulation with a fixed math representation in order to understand the
performance or accuracy issues that pop ups when bailing out from the floating
point realm.

The programming language used is C mainly, but there's also code in python
and perhaps makefile scripts to generate reports.

The project uses third party projects such as : Blender3d to generate the 3d
models and the game programming library Allegro, to generate canvas windows
and colorize some pixels around.

The entire code took me 3/4 of a year and is my entire work.
