The RK Unity Toolkit is an open source library of extension methods and tools that make solving many common problems in Unity cleaner, faster, and easier. Some highlights include:
- Easing Functions - Unity implementations of all the functions described on easings.net. These are very useful for code-based animations and creating polished non-linear behaviors.
- Vector Extensions - A lot of common vector operations like taking the absolute value, clamping, and removing components are tedious and verbose in Unity. These extensions simplify most operations into a single statement that’s easy to read.
- Gizmo Drawing Tools - A collection of tools for drawing points and bounding boxes in Unity’s gizmos, making it easier to debug 3D math.
The easiest way to add the RK Unity Toolkit to a Unity project is with the Unity Package Manager's "Add package from git URL..." option and entering "https://github.com/RHKasper/com.rhkasper.rk-unity-toolkit.git" in the text field.
This package is also available on OpenUPM: https://openupm.com/packages/com.rhkasper.rk-unity-toolkit/
Each number in a release version will represent changes of different magnitude:
-
Major Version (1.3.35 => 2.0.0): changes in the first number represent major changes to the toolkit that will very likely cause errors in existing usage. This will include:
- Unity major version updates (2021.3.x => 2022.3.x)
- Renaming methods
- Deleting methods (I don't expect to do this often, but it could happen)
-
Medium Version (1.3.35 => 1.4.0): changes in the second number represent moderate changes. These likely won't cause any errors in existing usage, but if they do, they will be easy to resolve using a modern IDE like Visual Studios or Rider. Examples:
- Unity minor version updates (2021.3.12f1 => 2021.3.15f1)
- Reorganization of extension methods and files
- namespace changes
-
Minor Version (1.3.35 => 1.3.36): changes in the third number represent minor changes and bug fixes. These will not cause errors in existing usage. Examples:
- Addition of new files or methods
- Documentation updates
- Bug fixes (hopefully these won't be needed very often)
