The name "Ninja Style!" refers both to the ease at which the GPU pulls off real time ray tracing and the music that is a remake of a C64 tune from the game The Last Ninja from 1987 by Ben Daglish.
The C64 shader in the beginning & end and the font are also related to the C64, on which the game was a huge hit back in the days.
This demo has been tested on several machines in different browsers.
An important note: Windows users may have to configure their browser to use native OpenGL instead of DirectX/Angle!
