    I’ve never heard of Y pointing up. Z is always up. Unless you’re talking about lathes, where Z points to the right and X points up. Whoever came up with that, I hope his frying in hell.

      I’ve never heard of Y pointing up.

      Screen coordinates work like this because they are 2D. X for horizontal, Y for vertical.

      Oh, you need to sort your 2D graphics to figure out how to handle overlaps? Z it is!
