A great explanation of the Marching Cube algorithm is here. The algorithm’s goal is to draw meshes of an implicit surface function $latex f(x,y,z) = threshold$. Based on the 8 corner points for each tiny cube is above or below the threshold, the mesh triangles for the cube can be easily determined. The algorithm then…
Mixin is an incomplete class that can be mixed into multiple classes. For example, mixin Fluttering { void flutter() { print(‘fluttering’); } } abstract class Bird with Fluttering { void chirp() { print(‘chirp chirp’); } } Note that the Fluttering mixin can be used in multiple classes. If we want to restrict the mixin to…

Future printOrderMessage() async { print(‘Awaiting user order…’); var order = await fetchUserOrder(); print(‘Your order is: $order’); } Future fetchUserOrder() { // Imagine that this function is more complex and slow….
