Recursive raytracer in 35 lines of JavaScript

Yes, that is (my 5 year old idea of) ZX Spectrum Basic. It follows the format of the listings published in Microhobby (http://microhobby.speccy.cz/mhf/031/MH031_08.jpg - in particular, look at the "NOTAS GRAFICAS" sidebar). I grew up with that :) My programming has improved, my drawing abilities not so much.

I remember typing that listing, almost thirty years ago. I owe a lot of what my life is now to Microhobby.

Microhobby FTW. I have the exact same feeling, but more generally about the Spectrum.

Me too but more about the BBC B and the Amstrad CPC 464!

BBC Basic was amazing in hindsight.

Bugs Boni !
