@El'endiaStarman I'm assuming you are Protestant/Nondenom Christianity (basically mainstream)

maybe that was a bad assumption

Alex A.

Nathan Merrill

do you consider the dead sea scrolls to be true? What about the early christian creeds? How far into recent history do you go?

@AlexA. lol

El'endia Starman

I actually read a book a couple days ago titled "The Orthodox Way", which was essentially a theological summary of the Orthodox Church, and I actually found myself liking a lot of their theology. So you could say I'm kinda halfway between Protestant and Orthodox. :P

Helka Homba

@AlexA. That's cannon

@NathanMerrill That somewhat depends on why you think it's important to determine what canon is, and at this point, we should probably continue our conversation over here...

orthogonal means "above, below, left, right". What includes the diagonals as well?

El'endia Starman

@NathanMerrill I've used both methods before. It's kinda hard to decide which is better.

Which is why Pytek is going to have a single command for exactly those offsets.

Nathan Merrill

anyways, that's not my question: Is there something similar to counterclockwise for 3d coordinates?

Helka Homba

@flawr no one is going to beat 9 by much!

flawr

Your quiestion is barely a day old!

Lembik

@flawr yes.. it is just the ridiculously short nature of that answer which has inspired me to wonder about the etiquette

I wasn't expecting it

of course what I really wanted was to ask for code that only generated answers it actually outputted

instead of generating lots of answers and filtering them

Well I'd wait anyway, as I think an accepted answer somehow discurages from further participation.
