Geometry

Objects and helpers to provide easy calculations of objects in 2D-space and time. These objects can be (de)serialized to/from JSON. This library extensively uses the new generic math functionality of .NET 7 so each object can contain the numeric types you prefer.

Space

Point

A 2-dimensional location value object with TNumber as type of the underlying values of X and Y. Contains:

• Operators to perform calculations.
• Default casts (also from/to ValueTuple).
• Converters to convert to a different TNumber.
• Some simple predefined calculations: Sum(), Multiply().

Line

A line holds two points: a starting point and end point. Contains:

• Casts to and from Size.
• Converters to convert to a different TNumber.
• Some simple predefined calculations: Distance(), Difference().
• An iterator to iterate all points in the line foreach(var point in new Line<int>((0,0), (10, 10))

Size

A 2-dimensional measurement value object with TNumber as type of the underlying values of Width and Height. Contains:

• Operators to perform calculations.
• Default casts (also from/to ValueTuple).
• Converters to convert to a different TNumber.
• Some simple predefined calculations: Circumference(), Area().
• An iterator to iterate all points in the size: GetAllPoints() or use foreach(var point in new Size<int>(10, 10)).
• Extension to convert size to inline css.

Surface

An Euclidean plane of a specific size (and offset). Contains bound checks using the size offset.

• Some simple predefined calculations: Circumference, Area.
• Converters to convert to a different TNumber.
• A way to (try to) get the address of a point on the plan.
• An iterator to iterate all points in a certain direction.
• An iterator to iterate all points of a line.
• An iterator to iterate all points in the dimensions.

Directions

A direction holds a point which contains the delta in X and Y. There are different types of directions. Every direction type is a value object (and therefore immutable).

FreeDirection

A direction in every possible delta point. Contains:

• An Angle, which also can be consumed by the constructor of FreeDirection.
• Default casts.
• Converters to convert to a different TNumber.
• Methods to take a (random) turn.

StrictDirection

A strongly typed direction that resides in a specific enum which holds other direction values. This object makes it easy to enumerate over the directions and search for them. No free directions can be used. Contains:

• Predefined definitions:
  • DiagonalDirection
  • EveryDirection
  • HorizontalDirection
  • OrthogonalDirection
  • VerticalDirection
• Default casts.
• Converters to convert to a different TNumber.
• Converters to (try to) convert to a different StrictDirection.
• Methods to take a (random) turn using RotationType.

StrictDirections make use of the MagicEnums library to easily enumerate directions in one definition.

StrictDirections make use of the ImplementationDiscovery library to easily enumerate different definitions.

An example of predefined definition DiagonalDirection

public static readonly DiagonalDirection<TNumber> NorthEast = CreatePoint( 1, -1);
public static readonly DiagonalDirection<TNumber> SouthEast = CreatePoint( 1,  1);
public static readonly DiagonalDirection<TNumber> SouthWest = CreatePoint(-1,  1);
public static readonly DiagonalDirection<TNumber> NorthWest = CreatePoint(-1, -1);

NoDirection

A singleton object that holds a delta point of (0, 0).

Movements

Describes in what direction an object moves from a starting point, using a timer. There are different types of movements. Every movement type is a value object (and therefore immutable).

StraightMovement

A movement that only goes into one straight direction over its lifetime.

DynamicMovement

A movement in which the direction and (therefore the location over time) can be determined by using a formula.

NoMovement

Should be used for objects that don't move. It can still hold a direction.

Time

Timer

A timer helps calculating the direction and location of a moving object deterministically. It uses Stopwatch behind the scenes for accuracy. The speed and value of the time can be influenced by using a custom speed timer.

CustomSpeedTimer

A timer (wraps Stopwatch) in which the speed or time can be increased manually.
The timer can be stopped, reset and (re)started.

TimerScope

Controls access to a timer in the ambient context. This way a statically shared timer can be accessed and controlled from the outside.

This functionality makes use of Ambient Context pattern as implemented by TheArchitectDev. See the Architect.AmbientContexts package.

UnixEpochConverter

A small helper to convert DateTimes to Unix time stamps and vice versa.
