01c2af6615 Rotate and translate construction
In the process, write code to make updates that depend on the time
between frames.

a40a110788 Ray-caster: only draw when the scene is changed
This is how I typically schedule draw calls in JavaScript applications.
The baseline CPU activity for the display prototype is now in line with
other pages (though perhaps a bit higher), and the profiler shows little
time being spent in draw calls, even when I'm continually moving a
slider. The interface feels pretty responsive overall, although the
sliders seem to be lagging a bit.

ec48592ef1 Ray-caster: add a frame time monitor
It's time to start optimizing. Frame time is easy to measure, and we can
use it to gauge responsiveness.

5e9c5db231 Ray-caster: switch from draw effect to animation loop
This wastes a lot of CPU time, as explained on lines 253--258 of
`main.rs`, but it's better than the previous version, which could block
graphics updates system-wide for seconds on end.

In the process, start exploring array size limits of various kinds.

This helps confirm that the generalized depth-sorting is working.

c18cac642b Ray-caster: generalize depth sorting
Switch from a hard-coded sorting network for four fragments to an
insertion sort, which should work for any number of fragments.

b9587872d3 Ray-caster: don't bother clearing the screen
The ray-caster triangles cover the whole viewport, so they'll completely
overdraw the previous frame.

766d56027c Ray-caster: move shaders to separate files
This properly reflects the modularity of the code, and it simplifies
indentation and syntax highlighting.

To get the right order, flip the sign of the `z` component in the output
of the projection map.

miswritten as ---.
