roxlap-core 0.1.0

Pure-Rust port of Ken Silverman's Voxlap voxel engine — engine core.
Documentation
//! Render the bundled oracle world from a north-facing camera into
//! a PPM image. Showcases the minimum viable opticast pipeline.
//!
//! Run from the workspace root (so `assets/oracle.vxl.gz` resolves):
//!
//! ```sh
//! cargo run --release --example oracle_view -p roxlap-core
//! ```
//!
//! Output: `oracle_view.ppm` in the current directory.

// Single-char locals (w, h, fb, zb, b, g, r) are conventional in
// rendering example code; relax the pedantic name lint here.
#![allow(clippy::many_single_char_names)]
