Math
This part of the framework contains math stuff. Since we use the glm library,
we don't really need to create any of our own math types, but I alisased
the vector and matrix types into the tram namespace in order to
increase the readability of the source code.
There's also a couple of constants, which have to do with the coordinate
system that we're using, i.e. DIRECTION_FORWARD,
DIRECTION_SIDE and DIRECTION_UP.
Other than that, this part of the framework contains a couple of random math functions which the glm library doesn't have. At least in C++ part of the framework.
Since glm is a C++ only library, I re-implemented some of the vector types in Lua, so that they can be used for scripting.
Scripting in Lua
Creating a vector and operations on a vector
vector = tram.math.vec3(420.0, -42.0, 4.20)
vector = vector + tram.math.vec3(69.0, -69.0, 6.9)
vector = vector + 69.0
print("My vector:", vector)
Creating a quaternion from euler angles and operations on it
rotation = tram.math.quat(vector)
rotation = rotation * rotation
Rotating a vector by a quaternion
vector = rotation * vector
