This was a real trip down memory lane. I used to love writing ray-tracers using languages and hardware completely unsuitable for them and was very familiar with fixed point math. I never quite cracked global illumination but there was no internet back then, it was all from books. I've always felt that ray tracing is the best way to learn about computer graphics because it's so intuitive - you don't even need to know any matrix math. To do the same thing using OpenGL or DirectX is an absolute nightmare because you have to master matrices, cameras, lights, shader programs, fragments etc. You can literally write a ray tracer in a dozen lines of code provided you have some function to draw pixels. You get so many things for free with RT, for example 3D textures and constructive solid modelling, because you're dealing with surfaces and objects and not millions of flat triangles. And there's a lot you can do to speed it up, which I'm surprised you didn't cover. For example using bounding volumes or adaptive sampling.

I tried something similar, but on a different scale: on a single-core Athlon, draw some billiards scenes in real time. It was a bit choppy when one of the balls was close, and it precomputed the table, but it simulated soft shadows and reflections at 1024x768 resolution, with perfectly round spheres. (At that time, 3d accelerators were already common, but most games used so few polygons that spheres didn't lok round.) More pixels, more spheres, close to real-time (~15fps), ball physics (those were cheap in comparison), without using the GPU. To achieve that much speed, I used the native floating point capabilities of PCs, and I intersected all balls with "x-planes" (my term for a plane in which the camera and all rays into pixels of the same x-coordinate are) and y-planes. That allowed me to skip sphere intersections for all pixels above or below the entire ball (the sphere/plane intersection is expensive, but no more than ~30 pixels, so if as few as 30 lines at the top or bottom don't contain the sphere at all, it's already breaking even). It gets even better since you can compute where the center of the sphere is and estimate the height of the sphere. Even better, that height is always on the low side, so you can skip the planes which are closer to the center than that completely. (If, for example, the center is at (x=400, y=300), and the height is estimated at 30, you can mark 270 0.5 then return brightness 0. -- Subtract 1.5 from v. -- If v < 0 then set v to zero. -- Return brightness 16 (0.25 - u²) (0.25 - v²). (This will equal 1 for u=v=0 or 0 for u=0.5 or v=0.5 with interpolation in between.) That's a very coarse approximation, but enough for highlights on reflective surfaces, and due to the inherent interpolation, it won't flicker annoyingly. (I'm writing this down from memory, so I could well be wrong on some steps.)

Great job! For sqrt(), it's easy to do using plain ints. Start with an approximate value that's 1 shifted left by half of the bits of your input number, then perform 1, 2 or 3 iterations of Raphson-Newton to get a more precise value, doing ret=(ret+x/ret)/2. You'll have to shift each intermediary result by 12 since you're using fixed point, but that can be way faster than passing by floats!

It’s actually quite amazing how well a video about raytracing with calculators can teach you the basics of how shaders and graphics fundamentally work. Following step-by-step the actual process of building the renderer from scratch and seeing how they affect the final image really helps you understand how it works. I’ve been working with unity for almost a year now and have fairly good experience using shaders for my projects and now seeing how one works under the hood (albeit using a very different rendering technique) really gives you a sense of appreciation for these wonderful bits of code.

Hey dude, loved this video, so cool. I'm a bit older than you (not sure how much, but im almost 40) and back in high school, having a TI loaded with games and stuff was pretty much one of the coolest things you could have. Back then, cell phones were very rare, and the games on them sucked for the most part. You also ran the risk of having your phone confiscated (you weren't supposed to have them in class) but that was rare. Because you needed your TI for Math class though, they were not able to be confiscated, and if you weren't obvious, you could play games in your math class all day. I remember programming in basic and wanting to do ASM, but it was too hard for me at the time (much different environment and times). That said though, TI calcs have a very soft spot in my heart, and I love seeing how far you guys have taken them. If you would have told me back in my high school years that something like this would eventually come out, I wouldn't have believed ya! Again, great video to see, loved it.

When a _calculator_ that's likely thousands of times less powerful as a mid-range (of the time) GPU, but costs the same amount (at the time), you're either getting a really good deal on the GPU or are being oversold the calculator.
