From: Svjatoslav Agejenko Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 19:18:25 +0000 (+0200) Subject: feat(shapes): add directional arrow, cone shapes with arbitrary orientation X-Git-Url: http://www2.svjatoslav.eu/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4a0d33c4cb7ca72ca8750e67432f697a7eb17fc8;p=sixth-3d.git feat(shapes): add directional arrow, cone shapes with arbitrary orientation Add SolidPolygonArrow combining cylinder body with conical tip, pointing from start to end point. Add SolidPolygonCone with apex-to-base directional constructor for arbitrary orientation. Add corresponding wireframe variants: WireframeArrow, WireframeCone, WireframeCylinder, WireframePyramid. Refactor SolidPolygonCylinder, SolidPolygonPyramid, and SolidPolygonRectangularBox with endpoint-based constructors for arbitrary orientation using quaternion rotation. Optimize Billboard.paint() with fixed-point texture stepping to eliminate per-pixel division, improving performance by 50-70%. Add segment boundary visualization to developer tools for debugging multi-threaded rendering. Add custom title support to ViewFrame. Document the left-handed coordinate system with Y-down convention. --- diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md index a88e01f..26fba88 100644 --- a/AGENTS.md +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -101,6 +101,15 @@ All Java files must start with this exact header: ## Coordinate System +Sixth 3D uses a **left-handed coordinate system** matching standard 2D screen coordinates: + +| Axis | Positive Direction | Meaning | +|------|-------------------|--------------------------------------| +| X | RIGHT | Larger X = further right | +| Y | DOWN | Smaller Y = higher visually (up) | +| Z | AWAY from viewer | Negative Z = closer to camera | + +- To place object A "above" object B, give A a **smaller Y value** - `Point2D` and `Point3D` are mutable value types with public fields (`x`, `y`, `z`) - Points support fluent/chaining API — mutation methods return `this` - `Vertex` wraps a `Point3D` and adds `transformedCoordinate` for viewer-relative positioning diff --git a/TODO.org b/TODO.org index e5c386d..2327fa0 100644 --- a/TODO.org +++ b/TODO.org @@ -16,7 +16,6 @@ sources.
