proposal: instead of using x/y/z for 3d coordinates, use h/v/d, horizontal, vertical, depth

Make all of your coordinates using a radial system with the character as the origin point.
Sure you need to recalculate the position of every object in the universe any time the character takes a step or turns and the lag would be horrifying but it's extremely unambiguous

@eniko what's your proposal for UV coordinates?
@ratsnakegames those are 2d so x/y works but h/v also works i suppose

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place Inspired by Kerbal Space Program and flight simulators, I'd suggest pitch/roll/yaw for rotation as well.

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