This is because I cant access the 3d commands built into modern video cards and
processors like most 3d games use. The code for those games is very platform
dependent. What matters in my program is your CPU's Megaherts and how much your
operating system runs the process. This program is special in that it maybe the
first ray caster ever built with a script language and cross platform to boast.
Albeit, no frills.
I have been analyzing the ray casting code and have found some possible areas
for improvement in speed, and also some ways to increase quality without giving
up much or any speed in return. Dont get your hopes up though, it will always
be pre-doom quality. At least until RT includes ray casting commands into
REBOL.
