    Arrow Hard Math Problem

    I have a small universe, with the 3 standard dimensions: X,Y and Z.

    Given these things:
    - The (x,y,z) coordinates of the "camera"
    - the direction that the camera is pointing
    - the (x,y,z) coordinate of a point in space

    Can someone tell me the maths expression that will resolve this info into an (x,y) coordinate, so I can plot it on a picturebox.

    My brain is aching, please help!

    you would need to do the transformation for your camera view, then you can project pX=K*X/Z pY=K*Y/Z
    for more information on transformations check out this thread:

    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
