## Features

This repository includes various modules for:

- Number formatting and manipulation

- Color manipulation and transitions

- Mathematical operations

- String operations

- Cryptographic functions

- Model manipulation

- Interpolation functions

- Random generation utilities

## Usage

Each module is self-contained and can be required independently. Here's a quick overview of available modules:

### Number Utilities

- `Abbreviate` - Converts numbers to abbreviated string format (e.g., 1000 -> "1K")

- `AddZeroes` - Pads numbers with leading zeros

- `FormatNumber` - Formats numbers with comma separators

- `Grid` - Snaps numbers to a grid

- `NearestMultiple` - Rounds numbers to nearest multiple

- `Map` - Maps a number from one range to another

### Color Utilities

- `ColorHSL` - HSL color conversion and manipulation

- `GammaColorTransition` - Color transitions with gamma correction

### Interpolation

- `CosineInterpolation` - Smooth interpolation using cosine

- `CubicInterpolation` - Cubic curve interpolation

- `HermiteInterpolation` - Hermite curve interpolation

- `LinearInterpolation` - Linear interpolation between values

### Cryptography

- `Base64` - Base64 encoding and decoding

- `MD5` - MD5 hash generation

- `HexCode` - Random hex code generation

### String Operations

- `Acronym` - Generates acronyms from strings

- `Grammar` - Basic grammar correction

- `Levenshtein` - Calculates Levenshtein distance between strings

### Vector/Model Operations

- `AngleBetween` - Calculates angle between vectors

- `ModelMover` - Utility for moving models

- `Reflection` - Calculates reflection vectors

### Random Generation

- `Chance` - Probability and random number utilities

- `GenerateRarity` - Weighted random rarity generation

### Misc

- `ClassifyScript` - Identifies script types

- `isWithin` - Range checking utility

## Installation

1. Clone this repository or download the desired modules

2. Place the modules as `ModuleScript` instances in Roblox Studio

3. Require the modules as needed

## Example

```lua

local Abbreviate = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Abbreviate)

local formatted = Abbreviate(1500) -- Returns "1.5K"

local Map = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Map)

local mapped = Map(50, 0, 100, 0, 1) -- Maps 50 from range 0-100 to range 0-1

```
