  2. Skybox (video games) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skybox_(video_games)

    A skybox is a method of creating backgrounds to make a video game level appear larger than it really is. [1] When a skybox is used, the level is enclosed in a cuboid.The sky, distant mountains, distant buildings, and other unreachable objects are projected onto the cube's faces (using a technique called cube mapping), thus creating the illusion of distant three-dimensional surroundings.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_uniform_tilings...

    Special cases are right triangles (p q 2). Uniform solutions are constructed by a single generator point with 7 positions within the fundamental triangle, the 3 corners, along the 3 edges, and the triangle interior. All vertices exist at the generator, or a reflected copy of it. Edges exist between a generator point and its image across a mirror.

    Simplified schematics of YIG-resonator coupling to microstrip network YIG filter partially disassembled. The electromagnet is on the left. The module with YIG sphere and input and output coils is on the right. Yttrium iron garnet spheres (YIG spheres) serve as magnetically tunable filters and resonators for microwave frequencies.

    Schematic representation of on the unit sphere and its nodal lines. ℜ [ Y ℓ m ] {\displaystyle \Re [Y_{\ell m}]} is equal to 0 along m great circles passing through the poles, and along ℓ − m circles of equal latitude.

  6. Sprite (computer graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sprite_(computer_graphics)

    In computer graphics, a sprite is a two-dimensional bitmap that is integrated into a larger scene, most often in a 2D video game.Originally, the term sprite referred to fixed-sized objects composited together, by hardware, with a background. [1]

  7. 3-sphere - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-sphere

    Direct projection of 3-sphere into 3D space and covered with surface grid, showing structure as stack of 3D spheres (2-spheres) In mathematics, a hypersphere or 3-sphere is a 4-dimensional analogue of a sphere, and is the 3-dimensional n-sphere. In 4-dimensional Euclidean space, it is the set of points equidistant from a fixed central point.

  8. Dyson Sphere Program - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyson_Sphere_Program

    Dyson Sphere Program takes place in a futuristic science fiction world, where a society exists primarily in a virtual computer space, which demands a great deal of power and computational ability. To expand that, they have sent one of their members, the player, into the real universe to construct a Dyson sphere from resources in a nearby star ...
