How To Use

This project has been built largely to be imported as a managed-code plugin. Within a Unity project, navigate to ${project_root}/Assets/Plugins, and clone this repository and set it up as a submodule:

cd ${project_root}/Assets/Plugins
git clone https://github.com/UCRBrainGameCenter/BGC_Tools.git
git submodule add https://github.com/UCRBrainGameCenter/BGC_Tools.git BGC_Tools

Features

User Management

• Easily-integrated system for managing multiple distinct user profiles in Users.PlayerData
• User data is serialized into JSON and readily available for inspection, debugging, reproduction

Audio

• Advanced Audio synthesis library (Check out examples in Tests.SynthesisTests)
• Fourier transforms, Spectrogram generation
• Managed code to Read and Write WAV files in Audio.WaveEncoding
• Midi Encoding, Decoding, and Rendering (Alpha) in Audio.Midi.MidiEncoding

Custom Data Structures

• IDepletable containers, representing sets of values that can be depleted when taken, but can also be refreshed (located in DataStructures.Generic)
  • DepletableList<T> will return values from an underlying collection in a fixed order, and can be refreshed to its original state (like a stack that can be reset)
  • DepletableBag<T> will return values in a random order from an underlying collection (like shuffle on a music player)
• Efficient RingBuffer<T> implementation
• Several forms of IPool, for pooling objects

Mobile, Desktop, and Editor-Friendly File I/O

• Streamline the process of accessing data directories and subdirectories on all platforms with IO.DataManagement
• Convenient JSON reading, parsing, and writing with IO.FileReader and IO.FileWriter
• Zip Compression/Decompression support
• Inclusion of LightJson

Mathematics

• Robust implementation of Complex number support with Mathematics.Complex32 and Mathematics.Complex64
• Fast Fourier Transforms (including for sample buffers that are not a power of 2)
• Bezier Curves
• Implementation of common math functions in Mathematics.GeneralMath
• Number factorization, least common multiple, and combinatorics
• Numeric Recipe for the Modified Bessel Function of the First Kind

State Machine

• Fast, fully-programmatic state machine implementation in StateMachine namespace.

UI

• Multi-featured, convenient Modal Dialog in UI.Dialogs.ModalDialog
• ModePanels for control of UI Frame Instances in UI.Panels.ModePanel

General Utilities

• Robust Semantic Versioning struct in Utility.ApplicationVersion
• Coroutine Management utility in Utility.CoroutineUtility
• Local file-browser Scene and Scripts, to allow the inspection of application files on-device (UnityAssets/Scenes/FileBrowser.unity)
