Vector Projector

Vector Projector is a C++ desktop app for visualizing vector operations in 3D.
It lets you enter two vectors, choose an operation, and see the resulting vector rendered in real time.

Technologies Used

• C++23 for application logic
• raylib for the window, rendering, 3D camera, and drawing
• raygui for the dropdown control in the UI
• g++ as the compiler
• Makefile build workflow

Features

• Interactive 3D vector visualization on a grid
• Two editable input vectors (v1 and v2)
• Supported operations:
  • Addition
  • Subtraction
  • Dot product (component-wise result display)
  • Cross product
• Live result vector display in both:
  • Numeric form (<x, y, z>)
  • 3D rendered vector (purple)
• Color-coded vectors and legend:
  • Red: Vector 1
  • Blue: Vector 2
  • Purple: Result vector
• Axis guides and axis labels (+X/-X, +Y/-Y, +Z/-Z)
• Split UI layout:
  • Left control panel for vector input and operation selection
  • Right viewport for 3D scene
• Camera controls in viewport:
  • WASD to orbit
  • Mouse wheel to zoom

Requirements

Before building, make sure you have:

• A C++ compiler with C++23 support (for example, g++)
• make
• raylib installed and linkable as -lraylib

Build

From the project root:

make

This builds the executable at:

bin/vector_projection

Run

./bin/vector_projection

Clean Build Artifacts

make clean
