3-d is just manipulating what's shown in x/y points(and not as easy as it
sounds) .

I went with cartesian coordinate, a 360x360 canvas(with 90x90 degree view
port), and a little trig for front/back/left/right/up/down, and amplitude
or z distance for my first attempt, and now porting it into the Blender
game engine.
