| This plugin would add basic 3D transforms to Turtle Blocks (e.g., setxyz, pitch, roll, yaw), camera and lighting models, surface texture mapping, and a rich set of example projects. One of the possible ways of creating models would be to use the concept of objects. An extended goal, if time permits would be a plugin for generating objects for MineCraft. | | This plugin would add basic 3D transforms to Turtle Blocks (e.g., setxyz, pitch, roll, yaw), camera and lighting models, surface texture mapping, and a rich set of example projects.

− | A great learning experience would be when I was first introduced to Computer Programming with Logo as my first language when I was a kid. It was fascinating to see the figures get created with such simple yet logical code. This drew my interest in programming and made me dive deeper into learning more about it. | + | A great learning experience for me would be when I used to teach Maths to my little brother. Initially I was afraid to do so as I myself was not an expert in it and had a tendency to avoid. But it was later that I realized that teaching not only helped him, but also aided me in improving my Mathematical skills and refining my concepts. It was then that I realized the value of imparting knowledge in whatever way you can. |
