This project allows you to explore many properties of platonic solids and related solids. This is attempting to be a mini museum for platonic solids. Move your mouse to/tap the right of the screen to reveal touch controls. The question mark in the bottom right allows you to turn on info mode. Hover over various icons, when the mouse turns into a question mark click for more information. Quick keys. Arrows keys to rotate. i: Turn on info mode
There are more things I hope to add in the future, namely truncation. If there are any features you would like to see in version 2 let me know! Also, please let me know if you find any bugs.

Instead of using rotation matrices. I used quaternions. This allows for quick computation as well as an efficient way to keep track of all combined rotations. For more information see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternions_and_spatial_rotation This project uses "Faster Triangle Filler" https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/24828481/ by @TheLogFather. Also the idea for rendering sides by depth I got from looking at projects from @Scratch-Minion
