Late Nights and Gimbal Locks
Here I am and it's 11:25pm... And I'm just getting started.
My nights have recently been filled with overwhelming (I just spelled that right the first time. Yeah me!) amounts of stress. You wanna know why? It's because of a little something called a Gimbal Lock. You see, I didn't take trigonometry (You're not going to believe me, but I just spelled that one right the first time, too!) or calculus. And while I feel like I'm generally pretty decent at algebra and problem solving; calculating points in 3D space and using Quaternions to do so, are not my strong points.
So here I am and it's 11:36pm... And I just wasted 11 minutes.
Update: Finally figured it out... And it's only 2:30am.
