[2002-11-26] Ray Tracing in C# and .NET
Source code: Raytracing.zip 104 KB
I just saw the Japanese Animation movie Spirited Away and couldn’t help admiring the combination of cool moving graphics, computer generated backgrounds, and integration of sound. This inspired me to revisit the world of 3-D computer graphics. One of the coolest techniques in generating 3-D objects is known as ray tracing. This technique utilizes how the behavior of a particle of light (a photon) with a solid or refractive object. We are only interested in the rays that reflect into the camera or view area near the eye. This “view” area forms the image from the different colors and intensities bouncing back from the solid object.
[2002-11-15] Beyond BASIC: SheerPower® 4GL
There are so many programming languages out there, it's almost impossible to count them without digital help - and that's not a reference to fingers. A quick browse in a bookstore can easily overwhelm even an intermediate programmer.
When a new language comes out, it's a difficult birthing process. The language must take its first breaths in full public view, amongst cynics and idealists. This is a trying period; there are competing languages already out there and in use, and it's difficult for a new language to find a place. All too often, YAPLs (Yet Another Programming Language) are released and dwindle into nothingness.
