4.8. Math Background | [ Prev - Up - Next ]

Map editing involves a substantial amount of 3D math; here is some brief discussion of various aspects of the background. It would be cool of the discussion could be followed on the basis of high school trigonometry, but it's almost certainly not there yet, especially without pictures; if you start, go on fine for a while and then get stuck, it would be useful to know where.
