• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Rotation about the z-axis...

  I have a square on screen (2 triangles), and I'm experimenting with rotating the thing.

As for how I'm doing it right now, I'm using Matrix.RotationYawPitchRoll(x, y, z) to get my rotation matrix. ...Show All

• Windows Forms Showing an image pixel by pixel (for a raytracer)
