That sounds fun. Do you have code for reference? Also I want to try out building a raytracer sometime as a hobby project, is it advisable to learn some 3d graphic concepts like WebGl and so?

You can very quickly get something on the screen with it, although getting an intuition for how it works may take a little longer and some reading around the concepts it introduces. But it does let you focus on the maths rather than worrying about also learning how Web/OpenGL works too.
