Paweł’s recent post reminded me of a veeeeeery old raytracer I wrote in years 1985/89. (Yes, young ones, we had computers then!)
Header states:
1985-07-10:
Computer: VAX-11/750
Language: Pascal V2
Graphics: VT100
1988-02-03:
Computer: IBM-PC
Language: Turbo Pascal 4.0
Graphics: EGA 640 x 350 x 16
1989-07-03:
Computer: IBM-PC/AT
Language: Turbo Pascal 5.0
Graphics: VGA 800 x 600 x 256
Quite a blast from the past – the 800 x 600 in 256 colors (out of a great palette of 262144 colors!) was more or less the greatest graphic card which you could get for PC at that time. And the first version was running on a VT100 terminal with an additional graphics board. Sadly, I don’t have that code anymore :(.
