  7. *      this unit has 2 instances : the first one is used with the windows      *

  16. *this unit handles the 3d -> 2d projections, we use 2 different methods        *
  17. *       of projections :                                                       *
  18. *                                                                              *
  19. *               A : axonometric projections, no perspective due to             *
  20. *                       distance is performed, the general way                 *
  21. *                       we can look at the coordinate system is as             *
  22. *                       follows :                                              *

  29. *               B : perspective projections : the normal eye perspective       *
  30. *                       projection is performed, we can look at the 3d         *
  31. *                       universe we are refering to as a cube of               *
  32. *                       1000 x 1000 x 1000 integer locations, with             *
  33. *                       the x axis, and y axis parallel to the screen          *
  34. *                       x, y axis respectivly, and the z axis going into       *
  35. *                       the screen.                                            *
  36. *                                                                              *
  37. *                       we will look at the coordinate system as follows :     *
