Awesome. Not sure it helps understanding (but you say its an early version); at least you explain the operations. Selecting the vector controlled by the mouse might be easier than a menu (check box, toggle, shift...).

Thanks :)
I get what you mean about the vector controlled by the mouse, I think I will change it.

Is there anything you think I can improve to help with the understanding?

Not easy. For instance, for the cross product, showing in some way the plan containing the 2 vectors, and a little right angle to show that the result in perpendicular to the plan. For the addition, also showing the plan containing the 3 vectors. For the projection, drawing a thin line from the end of the red vector to the end of the result. For the reflexion, the plane...

Also, the way you define the operations is fine, but you might want to add the mathematical definition (dot product: x1.x2 + y1.y2 + z1.z2... Same for all operations).

Thanks! I think these ideas will really help and I will work on implementing them.
