I've made a Ray Tracer in x86 assembler code based on the amazing Ray Tracer for Atari 8-bit BASIC developed by D. Scott Williamson.

It fits on a boot sector, and can run in real hardware (you'll need a minimum of a Pentium Pro).

This version corrects the floor displacement for a nice effect on the spheres.
