Math

This is a math and geometry library for JavaScript. It's optimized for use in high-performance computing applications like 3D games, and it can handle general-purpose operations on matrices and vectors.

Math for Games

Common algorithms for 2D and 3D games are supported, including affine transform matrices, transforming points or directions, and optimized multiplication for square matrices in 2, 3, and 4 dimensions.

// Create a new 3D transform (a 4x4 matrix)
var t = new M.Transform(3);

// Translate and store the result back in t
M.transform.translate(t, [1, 2, 0], t);

// Pre-translate by changing the parameter order
M.transform.translate([3, 0, 2], t, t);

// Create a new 3D vector
var p = new M.Vector([1, 1, 1]);

// Transform p
M.vector3.transformPoint(t, p, p);

Examples

1. Create an 8x8 identity matrix

    var i = M.matrix.identity(8);
   

   or

    var i = new M.Matrix(8, 8);
    M.matrix.identity(i);
   

2. Multiply two 3x3 matrices

    var a = new M.Matrix([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]);
    var b = new M.Matrix([[9, 8, 7], [6, 5, 4], [3, 2, 1]]);
    var product = M.matrix3.multiply(a, b);
   

3. Use optimized algorithms to multiply two transforms

    var t1 = new M.Transform(3)
    var t2 = new M.Transform(3);
    M.matrix4.multiply(t1, t2, t1);
   

4. Create a 2D rotation matrix

    var TMP = new Matrix(2, 2);
    var rotation = M.matrix2.fromAngle(M.TAU/2, TMP);
