  2. *                                 project3.h                                  *
  3. *      this unit has 2 instances : the first one is used with the windows      *
  4. *               graphic user interface, and the other does not,                *
  5. *                                                                              *
  6. *             +-------------------------------------------------+              *
  7. *             |  this unit is NOT interfaced to the window GUI, |              *
  8. *             |   for use on a bare screen ONLY - for runTime!  |              *

  11. *                                                                              *
  12. *this unit handles the 3d -> 2d projections, we use 2 different methods        *
  13. *       of projections :                                                       *
  14. *                                                                              *
  15. *               A : axonometric projections, no perspective due to             *
  16. *                       distance is performed, the general way                 *
  17. *                       we can look at the coordinate system is as             *
  18. *                       follows :                                              *
  19. *                                                                              *
  20. *                               |  z axis                                      *
  21. *                               |                                              *
  22. *                              / \                                             *
  23. *                    x axis   /   \  y axis                                    *
  24. *                                                                              *
  25. *               B : perspective projections : the normal eye perspective       *
  26. *                       projection is performed, we can look at the 3d         *
  27. *                       universe we are refering to as a cube of               *
  28. *                       1000 x 1000 x 1000 integer locations, with             *
  29. *                       the x axis, and y axis parallel to the screen          *
  30. *                       x, y axis respectivly, and the z axis going into       *
  31. *                       the screen.                                            *
  32. *                                                                              *
  33. *                       we will look at the coordinate system as follows :     *
  34. *                                                                              *
  35. *                       │ Y axis                                               *
  36. *                       │                                                      *
  37. *                Z axis x------ X axis                                         *
