proposal: instead of using x/y/z for 3d coordinates, use h/v/d, horizontal, vertical, depth
now nobody will be confused which axis is up
(note: proposal is tongue-in-cheek)
@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Inspired by Kerbal Space Program and flight simulators, I'd suggest pitch/roll/yaw for rotation as well.

@ratsnakegames those are 2d so x/y works but h/v also works i suppose
@eniko yeah but you can't use the same letter twice

@eniko (at least i always assumed they were UV coordinates because X and Y were already used for a vertex's 3d position)

@ratsnakegames ohhh that's what you mean lol
yeah idk why it's uv but i assume it is because xyzw were already taken

@eniko sub-proposal to rename 'depth' to 'stabby' because it measure how close something is to stabbing you!

@ratsnakegames so actually if you use h/v/d then that opens up x/y for texture coordinates, perfect!

@eniko jokes aside, it's not a bad proposal. It's the same reason why I use row/col instead of x/y or i/j as indices in matrices.

@eniko i mean depth is already used for size in the z dimension, like width and height are for x and y, so it should’ve been obvious already

@eniko What about row mayor / column mayor matrices
? ( and row / column vectors V * A or A * V ? ) -

h/b/d - height/breadth/depth ?

@jessechounard @eniko see, your problem is that you're using y for the row, which is obviously wrong 8-D

@eniko what about h / u / d for horizontal, yurizontal and depth ?

@eniko h/v/d, obviously standing for height, vvidth, and distance-
