ZOOM Project _ Java programing

Personal Project Aim

I recalled watching an Open University lecture in around 1985 on BBC2, aged 12, on how how to create Vector graphics and decided to set myself a challenge to create a 3D vector graphics environment using only basic geometry and trigonometry (Sin, Cos, Tan, Pythagoras) and NO 3D graphics libraries!

I used Java to write the code to test my logic and maths, and this was the result.

I created a simple flat plane, with various sized cubes etc. that you can fly around.
