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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

Good news, X is now down.

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

You’ll never believe my startup idea

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