AppGameKit Utilities

A collection of various utility functions.

This is all very much a work in progress.

A note on Vectors & Thetas:

Upon dealing with the incoherent mess of 3D coordinate spaces in ComputerGraphics, Mathematics, Aviation, etc.
Then, learning that "there is no correct coordinate space, they are arbitrary".
This is the coordinate space that I've settled upon using:

Variable & Function Naming:

These rules are adhered to, unless I've overlooked something. Or, the code is old and needs revisited.

Naming follows hierarchal ordering. That being: ThingAttribute.
Example: instead of "NewLength", "LengthNew" is used.
Note: this is the opposite of typical English grammar.
TitleCase is typically used.
Capitals for the first letter of every word, lowercase for the rest. This includes acronyms.
Exceptions include constants and some other occasions.
An attempt is made to make the nameing & usage of variable & function names read like a natural language sentence.
Underscores are typically avoided.
There are exceptions...
Single-letter & overly-truncated variable/function names are avoided, unless truncation is desired for compact code.

Common Abbreviations:

Pos = "Position"
Vel = "Velocity"
Rot = "Rotation"
Rds = "Radius"
Siz = "Size"
Scl = "Scale"
Bnds = "Bounds"
Nrm = "Normal"
Dir = "Direction" or "Directory"
Lok = "Look"
          The normalized-vector direction something is facing.
Trgt = "Target"
          Used for interpolating things like Position, Velocity, Rotation, etc.  
            Example:  Thing.VelTrgt  Thing.RotTrgt

Clr = "Color"

Dlt = "Delta"

Pch = "Pitch"
Yaw = "Yaw"
Rol = "Roll"

Deg = "Degrees"
Rad = "Radian"

Inv = "Inverse"
Cmp = "Complement"
Rcp = "Reciprocal"

Pnt = "Point"
Lin = "Line"

Cir = "Circle"
Tri = "Triangle"
Rct = "Rectangle"

Vrt = "Vertex"
Edg = "Edge"
Ray = "Ray"

Pln = "Plane"
Sph = "Sphere"
Box = "Right-Angled-Quadrilateral-Hexahedron" :P

Descriptive indexes are typically used.

Index Examples:

FOR iThg = 0 TO Thing.length
    Print(Thing[iThg])
NEXT iThg

FOR iPlyr = 0 TO Player.length
    Player[iPlyr].Pos.x = Player[iPlyr].Pos.x + Player[iPlyr].Vel.x
NEXT iPlyr

// In the case that coordinate indexes are used, iX,iY,iZ, iU,iV, etc are used.
FOR iY = 0 TO Thing_SizY
    FOR iX = 0 TO Thing_SizX
        Print(Thing[iY,iX])
    NEXT iX
NEXT iY
// And if desitinction is desired, iThgX, iThgY, etc.
FOR iThgY = 0 TO Thing_SizY
    FOR iThgX = 0 TO Thing_SizX
        Print(Thing[iThgY,iThgX])
    NEXT iThgX
NEXT iThgY
