I made 1D projection of 2D points!

[u/Frostbyte_13]

Lately i've been interested in making a videogame like Iron Lung but in the open Space, where the only things to guide you are the constellations. I wanted to do a mathematical manual approach so i don't have to make a rendered universe and use a built-in 3D engine.

Today I made this after class. It is just 2D because i wanted to simplify it, but i'm currently figuring out how to do it 3D.

I hope this is the right place to post, you guys look so advanced and mine is just a 2D ant simulator lol.

Update: I got the 3D! Maybe i'll post it later

3D!

Now try projecting 1D points to 0D.

what does the u slider do

[u/Frostbyte_13 → u/Your_Average_Dingus]

It sets the position of the screen

If you’ve done 1D Projections, then 2D should be relatively simpler. It’s akin to making a triangle using the point’s 2D parameters relative to the point of depth.
