For me, going through wikipedia article on phong and working out the math with my friends (instead of just blindly translating the equations to code) really helped me understand the basics.
In order to learn more (I admittedly know very little about anything other than the phong model - the other friend is much more knowledgable), I presume either a textbook or a course notes like this https://www.student.cs.uwaterloo.ca/~cs488/notes.pdf will probably help.
Hi, I worked on this project as well. I tried it on Windows, it ran without issues. If you run 'go run src/main.go', it should create output.png in the current directory. Then you should be able to run 'explorer output.png' to view the image.

You should see an output.png if it run successfully in the same folder.
Sorry, no easy access to a windows right now, but I will try it out on when I get a chance.
`go run` compiles the application, then runs it, the executable simply doesn't appear in the current directory as it would with `go build`.
I know sometimes it's tough to tell because of the insanely quick compilation speeds ;)
