UH, well, we can pick up on that anytime... it's silly math, actually, but painful, if you get tossed into -what looked like- a corner. To me the most hair-pulling, yet silly, problem is the Y axis flip from 2d concepts to 3d concepts. In my 3d tradition Y points upward... sounds ridiculous, but damn, that can throw you off.
In orthographics there may be some extra level of pain, but then again you can just approach it exactly as 3d, but keep the camera rays parallel. That way you can still employ the three basic vector maneuvers to do it all: length, normalize, dot product and reflect. ...ok four... length, normalize, dot product, reflect and cross product... ok five... leng..you get the point. 8]
Would be neat, though... but I think with those warcraft games and the likes there's already a very high quality arena for that evolution.
I'm now rather curious just how far I can go with my Taronoid thingy. If I can manage to sort my ideas and keep attacking them one by one, things will be fine, BUT I SO DESPERATELY NEED TO CLEAN UP... it's getting ugly. My types are getting jam-packed with stuff that needs uncluttering. My logic has to meet consistency in order to keep any sort of overview. You know how it goes when you keep adding things here and there... in the beginning I had no idea how far I would take it, so I wasn't preparing it for this... ARGH... BUT it's still all peachy. Young enough to comb through gently! :P
