Wireframe

Wireframe is a project mainly written in Java, it's free.

Nostalgia backup, old code I wrote to draw spinning wireframe boxes

Overview

Draws a rotating wireframe box.

One of my first Java programs, worked out in my spare time while in
the Peace Corps, circa 2004. I developed the math (it's all simple
trigonometry, no matrices) on paper and then coded the result by
lantern light in the early morning until my laptop charge ran out.

As an Electrical Engineer, I never took a Computer Science graphics
class where this sort of thing is commonly written. It was the
fulfillment of an early childhood goal: to understand the math behind
some form of 3d rendering and to implement a spinning box. It turns
out to be way easier than I realized at the time!

There's little documentation, obscurely named variables, and a few
bugs. I touched up the source code a smidge, mostly fixing file
structure, but its mostly original. This is just a nostalgia backup
for the author, please don't bother with it!
