+# Ray Tracer
+
+Inspired by the book _Ray Tracing in One Weekend_, I'd like to write this project using modern C++ (C++ 23) and attempt to use high-performance approaches.
+
+## Build & Run
+
+Make Sure your build system is properly set up:
+```bash
+cmake -S . -B build
+```
+
+Configure for Release:
+```bash
+# Release mode
+cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
+#Debug mode
+cmake -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
+```
+
+Compile the source code:
+```bash
+cmake --build build
+```
+
+To normalize the coding style
+```bash
+cmake --build build --target format
+```
+
+Suggests improvements to follow good C++ programming practices:
+```bash
+cmake --build build --target tidy
+cmake --build build --target tidy-all
+```
+
+Run the program
+```bash
+./build/apps/RayTracer > images/image.ppm
+display images/image.ppm
+```
