Edit Reason: Changed Top=Bottom to Up-Down
)
Has anyone on the development team started work on a "cube" ludeme? I am willing to test code and provide suggestions. For example, start simple and implement a draft face adjacency cube ludeme to work out graphics presentation challenges. You may want to wait and add edge diagonal and corner diagonal adjacency connections later.
In looking at the java code, I realize the cube ludeme probably needs its own 3D parent java modules and cannot extend the square ludeme directly.
Comment: Directional language issues are important to sort out. North, South, East, West, Up, Down makes sense in 3D. However, you already set a 2D precedent for Top=North, Bottom=South, Left=West, Right=East. I suggest when you implement the Cube ludeme (or sooner in anticipation), you replace Top with Back and Bottom with Front, so that Top can be used with Up and Bottom can be used with Down.
I also suggest Row, Column and Stack language for multiple "places" (i.e. locations/cells/vertices) and "layers" adjacent to each other in the 3rd dimension. For example, a row of layers in the West-East direction, a column of layers in the North-South direction and a stack of layers in the Up-Down direction.
