IIRC a couple of people have made a Raytracer using SDL. That is a Raytracer
within a Raytracer.

There's actually an implementation in the official documentation...

You may find PARI/GP more convenient for that.

Ok. Thank you for the tip.
I have had very few real need for such tools. I just did it for
learning more about the math and POV-Ray's SDL.
But it is great that there are such tools that are open source.
I see that it is available in Gentoo, so maybe I'll try it out.

I once used Pov-Ray in an attempt to stage a coup in a small third world
country.
It was unsuccessful, but I did manage to change the radio station format from
country music to rock. (While loops. Need I say more?}

A true hero would have used arrays and got the job done.
I think I am too old school.
Good luck with your webserver.
Power to the Pov,
