The Ray Tracer Challenge: Chapter 8 Completed, test failing (page 138)
Also posted to the old forums.
Hello there!
I just finished chapter 8, and I now have shadows! Yay!
However, when I ran the whole test suite, I discovered a failing test entitled: “Shading an intersection from the inside”.
The reason seems to be that my isShadowed function is returning true causing the ambient color to be returned (0.1, 0.1, 0.1).
If it were false, my test would pass, since it would add the ambient, diffuse, and specular together.
So, I’m looking for a little guidance.
Should isShadowed be true for this test?
