Ask HK: I would like to re-learn C. Any suggestions for a weekend project?

I learned C at my university, but since then I am a backend engineer (golang, nodejs). I would love to get a small weekend project to use C again.

Simple raytracer. Tangible, pleasing results.

If you're interested in the topic there is the aptly-named "Raytracing in one weekend" series of free books:
