Firehammer Math

Welcome to Firehammer Math, a collection of utility things related to math for Gamemaker.  

Firehammer Math currently contains the following things.  Note that it will grow over time.  

• Firehammer Max Ease
  • This system is a bare-bones way to handle easing.  It simply provides an alternative to the basic lerp() function in which you specify one of 30 equations.
  • The equations for Max Ease came from Robert Penner's work, which can be seen at http://www.robertpenner.com/easing/.
  • You can also see a good "cheat sheet" for them at https://easings.net.
• fhVector2
  • This is a struct representing a 2d vector.  It contains the x/y values of course, along with plenty of methods for using the vector.
  • It also contains a fake way of using static class methods as seen in other languages, allowing you to use much of the functionality similar to static class methods in C#.
 

The following are things I’m considering adding to the system.

• Noise functions
• Tweening system
  • This would automatically tween variables for you so you don’t have to call the easing functions manually.
• More basic math things, which could interact with each other(like rotating a vector3 by a Quaternion).
  • Vector3
  • Quaternion
  • Line/Ray

I’m open to suggestions as well.
