But I actually had a problem. I had a possibility to shoot more than 1
ray at each intersection. But I combined them incorrectly. I fixed that
and also noticed that it doesn't make sense to split the rays - one ray
at a time gave best results.

I also started using a faster way to create random rays and also
implemented importance sampling that made the image converge (smooth
out) faster. I attached a new example which _should_ be correct. Still
only balls but I have to figure the program structure first before
implementing more objects. I think that the basics should work now properly.

Hmm, I also read about a similar method where a ray is shot directly to
light sources at each bounce. Have to check it out.
