Talk:Coordinates

error spotted
in Interpreting Coordinate Numbers, the exemple does not match the picture. Since values are negatives, i do not know if they should be an offset of 1 for z and x, so i didnt edit the page. –Preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.188.252.46 (Talk) 12:20, 16 March 2012 (UTC).

Right Hand Rule?
The right hand rule is incorrect. It doesn't even work for left hand. Z is backwards. I suggest having the misinformation removed, since people who deal with a "right hand rule" in whatever trade or subject they know it from are used to the fingers pointing in the positive direction (or direction of movement). I am suggesting here instead of just removing it in case someone can correct me with an explanation or if it's simply ok to ignore the positive/negative aspect of the axis. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  05:15, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * It seems right to me. With the thumb pointing east (positive X) and the index finger pointing up (positive Y), the middle finger must point south (positive Z). -- Orthotope 07:51, 16 September 2012 (UTC)


 * That's why I posted here instead of removing that. I had the orientation wrong. Silly me. -- Kanegasi  ☺  C  08:10, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Ethics?
Maybe a section on the ethics of using coordinates should be mentioned (e. g. cheating or not?), not to mention that certain mods such as Better than Wolves disable their use. 74.134.193.31 22:32, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
