    How do you rotate a vector by a quaternion?

    Is there a fast way to do so?
    BTW, Thanks for all your help

    Turn it into a matrix and then multiply the vector is probably the easiest way to start. Write it down on paper and it might simplify out a little

    writing software in C++ is like driving rivets into steel beam with a toothpick.
    writing haskell makes your life easier:
    reverse (p (6*9)) where p x|x==0=""|True=chr (48+z): p y where (y,z)=divMod x 13
