Needlessly complex
I code up lots of odd and questionably useful computer programs, and I decided to start a blog to document some of my favorites as I put them up on github. In the month that I've been working on the site, I've posted around 14,000 words and five repositories.

Highlights so far include a page dewarping program and a tiny ray tracer.

Looks fun

These are incredible and I'll definitely go through the code in detail assuming I can even understand it all. Did want to point out that even though you use numpy in the page dewarping project it's not listed in requirements.txt. Not sure if that was deliberate or not.

D'oh - not deliberate. Fixing now, thanks!

Edited to add - probably not catastrophic b/c numpy is a dependency of both cv2 and scipy.

That's one tiny font you developed for the raytracer! It's up there with the one in the CBM 1520 Plotter ROM.
