 # card-raytracer
 
 A study of [Andrew Kensler's "business card raytracer"][aek] — a complete
-recursive path-tracer with soft shadows, depth of field, anti-aliasing,
-reflections, a checker floor, and a sky gradient, all crammed into a
-single C++ source file small enough to print on the back of a business
-card.
+**Whitted-style raytracer with stochastic sampling** for soft shadows,
+depth of field, and anti-aliasing, plus mirror reflections, a checker
+floor, and a sky gradient, all crammed into a single C++ source file
+small enough to print on the back of a business card.
 
 > **`card.cc` is exactly 1337 bytes.** Yes, **leet**. Verify it yourself:
