TMC Vectors

Description

Add Vector Math To GM Studio!

Vector variable type and supporting functions like add, mult, cross product, dot, and much more!

GMS:2 Compatible

Now you can convert vector math found all over the web to GML!

For this example c++ example found on the web:

VEC3 Reflect(const VEC3 &incident, const VEC3 &normal)
{
  return incident - 2.f * Dot(incident, normal) * normal;
}

Becomes this in gml

///tmc_vect_reflect(incident, normal)
//incident and normal are tmc_vect2 or tmc_vect3 types, works in 2d or 3d
return tmc_vect_sub(argument0, tmc_vect_multr( argument1, 2.0 * tmc_vect_dot(argument0, argument1)));

Features:

1. Vector2d
2. Vector3d
3. Vector4d
4. Smart Data Type using arrays
5. Multiple Dimensional Vectors
6. Smart Functions apply proper math to different vector types
7. Smart Functions select proper math when vectors of different types are passed
8. Add
9. Subtract
10. Divide
11. Multiply
12. Normalise
13. Cross Product
14. Dot Product
15. Scale
16. *Get Scalar
17. Get Length
18. Get Direction
19. Math with Vector on Vector
20. Math with Vector on real
21. *Line Segments
22. *Shape
23. *Line Segment Container
24. *Shape Container
25. *75 Functions over 6 Data Types, and 2 container types

Vector Class Changes:

1. Fixed a few errors in a few function
2. Added more features to the vector class
3. Fixed the size of the class to be identical in size no matter if 2d or 3d vector because (4)...
4. Added the ability to store extra data to vector and all new casses

Extra Bit

1. Added segment, shape and Pill class (*WIP)
2. Added Platformer test and a Pill Class (*WIP)

Features will be added as requested

Changes in 3.0.1

Version 3 changes a few things:

1. uses tmc_vecN as opposed to tmc_vectN,
2. uses dedicated vec2, vec3, vec4 functions to streamline the math
3. In this way the min(vectsizeV1,veectizeV2) and the for loop is removed
4. whenever possible, I abstained creating interim variables
5. Adds many variant to set data to a preexisting vector to limit the creation of temporary vectors
6. Version 2 remains in the package untouched aside some additions and bug fixes

3.0.1 - fixes the asset update screw up dropping the demo
