What is the C# Excessives library?
The C# Excessives library is a utility library made to make your C# development life easier by giving you powerful tools that will make your code both shorter, and easier to read.
Instead of writing this:
int[] values = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
foreach(int val in values) {
Console.WriteLine(val.ToString());
}Write this:
int[] values = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
values.ForEach(n => n.WriteLine());This library also adds many other useful things that assist in all projects:
- Easy conversion from primitives to their binary/hex format and vice-versa.
- A simple and fast event system that allows incredible de-coupling of separate systems that in reality should not depend on eachother.
- A math extension library that supports:
-- clamping
-- n-rounding, n-ceiling, c-flooring
-- linear interpolation, quadratic interpolation, sine interpolation
-- reverse interpolation
-- quick radian-degrees conversion
-- an easy to use crypto rand
-- Hex color selection library - Easy printing of enumerables(arrays/lists) and dictionaries
- Forward and reverse enumerable looping extension methods
--yourarray.ForEach(n => n.WriteLine());
--yourArray.For((n, index) => yourArray[index] = n + 1);<br/>-- And reverse versions too - Intelligently construct sub arrays:
--newArray = yourArray.SubArray(startIndex, length); - Even with indices that wrap around the end of the array:
--newArray = yourArray.SubArraySmart(startIndex, length, stepSize);
Usage
This branch adds compatibility with the Unity Package Manager (UPM).
Find Packages/manifest.json in your project and edit it to look like this:
{
"dependencies": {
"com.github.sir-hall.excessives": "https://github.com/SirHall/Excessives.git",
...
},
}or, you can use the UPM Git Extension instead (recommended).
As an alternative you may add this project to your own as a git submodule or just download the project in a zip file and unzip it into your project's source directory.

Unity3D devs are advised to use the Unity Excessives library as it has extra functionality just for the Unity engine!
