+# The Business Card Ray Tracer (Not Working)
+
+This is a more readable adaptation of Andrew "aek" Kensler's original
+1337-size ray tracer written in plan 9 C.
+
+Sadly it doesn't work yet. I'll have to go through it more thoroughly
+to find out the quirkyness that makes it generate a smaller, wrong
+file.
+
+You can read an updated version of his
+[here](http://eastfarthing.com/blog/2016-01-12-card/).
+
+I also recommend you take a look at Paul Heckbert's “A Minimal Ray
+Tracer”, Graphics Gems IV.
