Gregory's Serverthat led me to a philosophical discussion with myself in the head about what is even a triangle
where do the boundaries lie

@tillianisafox oh and I guess draw line segments between the point but that felt obvious  @tillianisafox it's why 3d computer graphics uses triangles! like as long as they're not in the same line you will have a valid triangle compare this to a quadrilateral (rectangle or square) and it becomes harder because you need all four points to be in the same plane that's guaranteed with a triangle |
@tillianisafox A triangle is actually one of the simpler definitions.
Three points in space. As long as all three points are not in a line, it will be a triangle.
If they are in a line or two or more points are exactly the same, that makes it a degenerate triangle since it's really either a line or point at that point
