wedge.mov
Interactive C + Raylib lab for understanding the wedge product as oriented area: from vector pairs and parallelograms to determinants, flux elements, and sign-sensitive geometry.
- Why
u ^ vmeasures signed area instead of ordinary dot-product similarity - How swapping vector order flips orientation and therefore the sign
- How the wedge product matches the
2 x 2determinant in 2D - How the same idea appears in flux, torque, and plane-oriented geometry
