Advanced coordinate rotation
Bouncing off an angle
Important formulas in this chapter
This chapter covers a particular technique known as coordinate rotation. As its name implies, this technique involves rotating a coordinate around a point. While useful all by itself, coordinate rotation is indispensable for several very interesting effects.
