Getting Started

Welcome to UniqueMath, a robust and evolving math library for GameMaker, inspired by the intuitive design of three.js. UniqueMath brings you powerful mathematical structures—like vectors, matrices, and quaternions—optimized for both performance and readability.

🎯 Functional API​

UniqueMath uses arrays and functions for maximum speed and fewer memory allocations:

var a = vec2_create(1, 2);
var b = vec2_create(3, 4);

vec2_add(a, b);        // a = [4, 6]
vec2_normalize(a);     // a = unit vector

var dot = vec2_dot(a, b);

🔧 Requirements​

  • GameMaker Studio 2 (latest LTS or IDE version recommended)

📦 Installation​

  1. Download or copy the UniqueMath files.

  2. Import the uem.yymps file by dragging it into your GameMaker project.

  3. You're ready to use advanced math in your project!

🚀 Quick Examples​

// 2D Vector operations
var pos = vec2_create(100, 200);
var vel = vec2_create(5, 3);

vec2_add(pos, vel);                    // Update position
var speed = vec2_length(vel);          // Get speed
vec2_normalize(vel);                   // Get direction

// Rotate around a point
var center = vec2_create(0, 0);
vec2_rotate_around(pos, center, 45);   // Rotate 45 degrees
