I found this handy reference a while ago. But yeah, we are kinda screwed.

[-] jukibom@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

So just about the only thing everyone agrees on is x is not up 🥲

[-] spartanatreyu@programming.dev 7 points 1 year ago

Good news, X is now down.

[-] shotgun_crab@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

At least they haven't invented X up (yet)

You'll never believe my startup idea

[-] Hexarei@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Dude you totally stole that idea from me, now you owe me half

There's only one quadrant of this that should be acceptable to anyone! Positive X, positive Y!

[-] Vorthas@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Nope, the bottom right quadrant is the acceptable one. Z is up and follows the right-hand rule. I will die on this hill.

you'll get bitten during projection when depth is converted to 2D screen coordinates, which is X and Y. Better do it right from the start.

Minecraft ruined me as a kid. I'm still mad that so many softwares use Z as up. I'm still not happy about it.

Y up feels much more comfortable for me.

[-] Cavemanfreak@vlemmy.net 5 points 1 year ago

Y up is also the standard in 2D graphs, so it makes sense that Z is depth.

Let's die together chief

I don't think anyone got my joke 🤷
