Modifications

The example code from the tutorial has been modified as follows:

• The implementation uses doubles instead of floats (to avoid unnecessary casts as the math operations provided by .NET Core mostly use doubles)
• The line-by-line rendering of the output image is parallelized
• The output goes to a JPG file instead of piping standard out to a PPM file
• The rendering progress is shown on the console
