[Class] Vector

12 Apr 2021, 20:03

This is a incomplete vector object math class.

I wrote this class based on the math that I could derive from the context clues in the materials I studied on vectors, the problem is that there was only so far I could go using that method and because I was always missing a big piece of the puzzle, there has always been a limit on how much I can do or learn to do with vector math. Hopefully there are some people out there that know some of the missing functions to make this a more complete lib.

If you know a missing function, please share.

Code: Select all

Class HB_Vector	{
	__New(x:=0,y:=0){
		This.X:=x
		This.Y:=y
	}
	Add(Other_HB_Vector){
		This.X+=Other_HB_Vector.X
		This.Y+=Other_HB_Vector.Y
	}
	Sub(Other_HB_Vector){
		This.X-=Other_HB_Vector.X
		This.Y-=Other_HB_Vector.Y
	}
	mag(){
		return Sqrt(This.X*This.X + This.Y*This.Y)
	}
	magsq(){
		return This.Mag()**2
	}	
	setMag(in1){
		m:=This.Mag()
		This.X := This.X * in1/m
		This.Y := This.Y * in1/m
		return This
	}
	mult(in1,in2:="",in3:="",in4:="",in5:=""){
		if(IsObject(in1)&&in2=""){
			This.X*=In1.X 
			This.Y*=In1.Y 
		}else if(!IsObject(In1)&&In2=""){
			This.X*=In1
			This.Y*=In1
		}else if(!IsObject(In1)&&IsObject(In2)){
			This.X*=In1*In2.X
			This.Y*=In1*In2.Y
		}else if(IsObject(In1)&&IsObject(In2)){
			This.X*=In1.X*In2.X
			This.Y*=In1.Y*In2.Y
		}	
	}
	div(in1,in2:="",in3:="",in4:="",in5:=""){
		if(IsObject(in1)&&in2=""){
			This.X/=In1.X 
			This.Y/=In1.Y 
		}else if(!IsObject(In1)&&In2=""){
			This.X/=In1
			This.Y/=In1
		}else if(!IsObject(In1)&&IsObject(In2)){
			This.X/=In1/In2.X
			This.Y/=In1/In2.Y
		}else if(IsObject(In1)&&IsObject(In2)){
			This.X/=In1.X/In2.X
			This.Y/=In1.Y/In2.Y
		}	
	}
	dist(in1){
		return Sqrt(((This.X-In1.X)**2) + ((This.Y-In1.Y)**2))
	}
	dot(in1){
		return (This.X*in1.X)+(This.Y*In1.Y)
	}
	cross(in1){
		return This.X*In1.Y-This.Y*In1.X
	}
	Norm(){
		m:=This.Mag()
		This.X/=m
		This.Y/=m
	}
}
If you are looking for examples of how to use this class you can search the forum for "HB_Vector" to find a number of them.

If you are interested in vectors as a topic, I recommend this series on youtube by 3Blue1Brown on Linear Algebra
