Random Background Generator

In this challenge we will use a Python script (using Python Turtle) to generate a random background for a 2D video game. To create a mountain range skyline we will use two different approaches: Using a polynomial function Using a

Oblique Projection Formulas

The aim of this challenge is to demonstrate how the oblique projection formulas are used to convert 3D coordinates (x,y,z) into 2D coordinates (x,y). The oblique projection formulas are essential to understand how 3D models are displayed on a 2D

RISC and CISC Processors
