Code written while reading the book "The Ray Tracer Challenge: A Test-Driven Guide to Your First 3D Renderer" by Jamis Buck.
This is example code that is not production-ready. It is intended for studying and learning purposes.

In this fork, I simply added the ability to preview the rendering progress in real time. This requires the php-glfw extension to be installed.
All credit for this project goes to Sebastian Bergmann; this really just takes the pixel data and outputs it into a window.
To run the real-time preview just execute:
php tools/preview.phpThe preview renders one fixed scene and does not support selecting different ones without changing the code in preview.php.
