# MATHC
MATHC is a simple math library for 2D and 3D programming.
## Features
- Vectors (2D, 3D and 4D) (integer type and floating-point type)
- Quaternions
- Matrices (2×2, 3×3, and 4×4)
- Easing functions
## Contributions and Development
You can help with the development of MATHC testing the library, sending in-scope math functions, reporting errors and giving feedback.
I work little on the library nowadays, but I am always open to suggestions and contributions.
## Versioning
Starting on version 2, the development of MATHC uses calendar versioning, with a tag `YYYY.MM.DD.MICRO` for each stable release. If a release breaks backward compatibility, then it is mentioned in the release notes.
## Configuring
MATHC can be configured using these preprocessors:
- `MATHC_NO_INT`: disable implementations using `mint_t`.
- `MATHC_USE_INT8`: define `mint_t` as `int8_t`.
- `MATHC_USE_INT16`: define `mint_t` as `int16_t`.
- `MATHC_USE_INT32`: define `mint_t` as `int32_t`. This is the default.
- `MATHC_USE_INT64`: define `mint_t` as `int64_t`.
- `MATHC_INT_TYPE`: set a custom type for `mint_t`.
- `MATHC_NO_FLOATING_POINT`: disable implementations using `mfloat_t`.
- `MATHC_USE_SINGLE_FLOATING_POINT`: define `mfloat_t` as `float`. This is the default.
- `MATHC_USE_DOUBLE_FLOATING_POINT`: define `mfloat_t` as `double`.
- `MATHC_FLOATING_POINT_TYPE`: set a custom type for `mfloat_t`.
- `MATHC_USE_UNIONS`: define anonymous unions inside structures.
- `MATHC_NO_POINTER_STRUCT_FUNCTIONS`: don't define the functions that take pointer to structures.
- `MATHC_NO_STRUCT_FUNCTIONS`: don't define the functions that take structures as value.
- `MATHC_NO_EASING_FUNCTIONS`: don't define the easing functions.
You can define these preprocessors using the compiler's option `-D` or using the compiler's option `-include` to include a configuration header with the configuration preprocessors inside it.
Example of a configuration header that makes `mint_t` a `int16_t`, `mfloat_t` a `GLfloat` and uses the standard math functions with double floating-point precision:
```c
#include
#define MATHC_USE_INT16
#define MATHC_FLOATING_POINT_TYPE GLfloat
#define MATHC_USE_DOUBLE_FLOATING_POINT
```
## Types
By default, vectors, quaternions and matrices can be declared as arrays of `mint_t`, arrays of `mfloat_t`, or structures.
## Functions
By default, MATHC has functions that take as argument arrays of `mint_t`, arrays of `mfloat_t`, structures as value, or pointer to structures. Functions that take structure as value have a prefix `s`. Functions that take structure pointer have a prefix `ps`.
## Easing Functions
The easing functions are an implementation of the functions presented in [easings.net](http://easings.net/), useful particularly for animations.
Easing functions take a value inside the range `0.0-1.0` and usually will return a value inside that same range.
## Usage
Creating a "look at" view matrix, useful for 3D programming:
```c
mfloat_t position[VEC3_SIZE];
mfloat_t target[VEC3_SIZE];
mfloat_t up[VEC3_SIZE];
mfloat_t view[MAT4_SIZE];
mat4_look_at(view,
vec3(position, 0.0, 0.0, 10.0),
vec3(target, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0),
vec3(up, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0));
```
Creating a perspective projection matrix:
```c
mfloat_t perspective[MAT4_SIZE];
mat4_perspective(perspective, to_radians(60.0), 1.0, 0.1, 100.0);
```
Creating a model matrix:
```c
mfloat_t position[VEC3_SIZE];
mfloat_t scaling[VEC3_SIZE];
struct {
mfloat_t position[MAT4_SIZE];
mfloat_t rotation[MAT4_SIZE];
mfloat_t scaling[MAT4_SIZE];
mfloat_t model[MAT4_SIZE];
} matrices;
/* Position */
mat4_identity(matrices.position);
mat4_translation(matrices.position,
vec3(position, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0));
/* Rotation */
mat4_identity(matrices.rotation);
mat4_rotation_x(matrices.rotation, to_radians(30.0));
/* Scaling */
mat4_identity(matrices.scaling);
mat4_translation(matrices.scaling,
vec3(scaling, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0));
/* Model matrix */
mat4_multiply(matrices.model, matrices.scaling, matrices.rotation);
mat4_multiply(matrices.model, matrices.position, matrices.model);
```
