| Jan 21, 2022 at 19:49 | comment | added | heckj | In this case, there's a notion of a forward vector and an up vector (and then a corresponding "to the right" or "to the left" vector). If you imagine yourself sitting in an airplane cockpit while moving in the direction of the vector, that's the gist of it. My code starts out with forward being +Y axis and "up" being +Z axis. | |
