Missing things:

• Polish (code is very traumatizing in this state)
• Proper Fp64 support
• Refine chunk management
• Anti Aliasing (3x3 SSAA, super unoptimized)

Performance optimizations:

• Cardioid & Bulb checking
• Length checking instead of naive greater-than-two approach
• Periodicity checking
• Image caching
