Yeah I’m also more of a Y-for-up-person, but I’m fine with either as long as you don’t use a left-hand-system

this special came from a folder i copied off of someones hard drive (its a long story), but you are right.

here is a more “correct” version, that also has the debris flying to the correct side of the screen :)

Technically it could be whatever, it’s unknowable because the axis aren’t labeled in the original. By convention +y is usually up when graphing lines though. Godot has an X to the right and Y down coordinate system however, as well as apparently html and a lot of image editors

I guess they did show for SpaceY an image of a rocket launching upwards, so that does suggest a Y up coordinate system relative to the screen. And it would normally be assumed that all images would have the same axis orientation

I’ve seen some pretty good cosine waves made from model rocket launches

I know. I want to edit this meme to say something about the bullshit, but I decided to stop studying math years ago and am woefully unprepared to make a competent math joke. My guess would be something involving Kesler syndrome and exponentially cascading space debris, but I don’t know what would describe that mathematically. Some sort of Markov chain to describe a cascading chain reaction?
