Math Snippets

Math snippets with graphic programming in mind.

This is work in progress. To-do:

  • Convert all snippets to JS (Some are Action Script)
  • Add live code examples
  • Add simple desciptions

Contents

Radians & Degrees

radians = degrees * Math.PI / 180;
degrees = radians * 180 / Math.PI;

// JavaScript
var angleInDegrees = 45;
var radians = angleInDegrees * Math.PI / 180;
var backToDegrees = radians * 180 / Math.PI;

Calculate side lengths

SOHCAHTOA

Calculate basic trigonometric functions
Sine of an angle = opposite / hypotenuse
Cosine of an angle = adjacent / hypotenuse
Tangent of angle = opposite / adjacent

// Javascript
var hyp = 100;
var angleDegrees = 45;
var angleRadians = angleDegrees * Math.PI / 180;

var opposite = Math.sin( angleRadians ) * hyp;
var adjacent = Math.cos( angleRadians ) * hyp;
var tangent  = opposite / adjacent;

Rotate a 2D point

var vec2 = {x: 2, y: 3};
var rotatedVector = rotate2D(vec2, angle);

function rotate2D(vector, angle)
{
	var theta = angle * Math.PI / 180; // radians
	var matrix = [  Math.cos(theta),  Math.sin(theta), 
					-Math.sin(theta), Math.cos(theta)
					];
					
	return { 
		x: matrix[0] * vector.x + matrix[1] * vector.y, 
		y: matrix[2] * vector.x + matrix[3] * vector.y
	};
}

Linear distance between 2 points

dx = x2 - x1;
dy = y2 - y1;
dist = Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);

// JavaScript
var x1 = 3;
var x2 = 5;
var distance = x2 โ€” x1;

Linear distance between 2 vectors

aยฒ + bยฒ = cยฒ

// Javascript
var v1 = {x: 4, y: -9};

Length of a vector

Magnitude

// Javascript
// 2D -> hypotenuse
var v = {x: 4, y:-9};
var length = Math.sqrt( (Math.pow(v.x, 2) + Math.pow(v.y, 2)) );

// 3D
var v = {x: 4, y:-9, z: 0.5};
var length = Math.sqrt( (Math.pow(v.x, 2) + Math.pow(v.y, 2) + Math.pow(v.z, 2) ));

Add and substract vectors

var v1 = {x: 2, y: 3};
var v2 = {x: 2, y: -2};
var addedVec = {x: v1.x + v2.x, y: v1.y + v2.y};
var subVec = {x: v1.x - v2.x, y: v1.y - v2.y};

Normalize vector

// Javascript
// 2D
var v = {x: 4, y:-9};
var length = Math.sqrt( (Math.pow(v.x, 2) + Math.pow(v.y,2)) );
var n = {x: v.x / length, y: v.y / length};

// 3D
var v = {x: 4, y:-9, z: 3};
var length = Math.sqrt( Math.pow(v.x, 2) + Math.pow(v.y,2) + Math.pow(v.z,2) );
var n = {x: v.x / length, y: v.y / length, z: v.z / length};

Dot product vectors

// Javascript
var v1 = {x: 4, y: 5, z: 9};
var v2 = {x: 5, y: 9, z: -5};
var dot = (v1.x * v2.x) + (v1.y * v2.y) + (v1.z * v2.z);

Finding angle between 2 points

//Javascript
var x = -3;
var y = -2;
var radians = Math.atan2(x, y);
var degrees = radians * 180 / Math.PI;

Finding angle between 2 vectors

// Javascript
var v1 = {x: 4, y: 5, z: 9};
var v2 = {x: 5, y: 9, z: -5};
var dot = (v1.x * v2.x) + (v1.y * v2.y) + (v1.z * v2.z);

var lengthv1 = length(v1); // see length
var lengthv2 = length(v2); // see length

var radians = Math.acos(dot / (lengthv1 * lengthv2));
var angle = radians * 180 / Math.PI;

Cross Product

// Javascript
var v1 = {x: 1, y: 2, z: 3};
var v2 = {x: 3, y: 2, z: 1};
var cross = {
	x: v1.y*v2.z - v1.z*v2.y, 
	y: v1.z*v2.x - v1.x*v2.z, 
	z: v1.x*v2.y - v1.y*v2.x
};

Rotate to the mouse (or any point)

var dx = mouseX - spriteX;
var dy = mouseY - spriteY;
sprite.rotation = Math.atan2(dy, dx) * 180 / Math.PI;

Create waves

// value can be properties like x, y, alpha, rotation etc.
public function onEnterFrame(event:Event) {
  value = center + Math.sin(angle) * range;
  angle += speed;
}

Hex to decimal

trace(hexValue);

Decimal to hex

trace(decimalValue.toString(16));

Combine component colors

color24 = red << 16 | green << 8 | blue;
color32 = alpha << 24 | red << 16 | green << 8 | blue;

Extract component colors

red = color24 >> 16;
green = color24 >> 8 & 0xFF;
blue = color24 & 0xFF;

alpha = color32 >> 24;
red = color24 >> 16 & 0xFF;
green = color24 >> 8 & 0xFF;
blue = color24 & 0xFF;

Draw a curve through a point

//xt, yt is the point to draw through
// x0, y0, x2, y2 is the end points
x1 = xt * 2 - (x0 - x2) / 2;
y1 = yt * 2 - (y0 - y2) / 2;
moveTo(x0, y0);
curveTo(x1, y1, x2, y2);

Convert angular velocity to x, y velocity

vx = Math.cos(angle) * speed;
vy = Math.sin(angle) * speed;

Convert angular acceleration or any other force to x and y

ax = Math.cos(angle) * force;
ay = Math.sin(angle) * force;

Add acceleration to velocity

vx += ax;
vy += ay;

Add velocity to position

sprite.x += vx;
sprite.y += vy;

Testing for out of bound

if(sprite.x - sprite.width / 2 > right) ||
  sprite.x - sprite.width / 2 < left ||
  sprite.y - sprite.height / 2 > bottom ||
  sprite.y - sprite.height / 2 < top)
{
  //remove or reposition sprite
}

Apply friction (correct way)

speed = Math.sqrt(vx*vx + vy*vy);
angle = Math.atan2(vy, vx);
if(speed > friction)
{
  speed -= friction;
} else {
  speed = 0;
}
vx = Math.cos(angle) * speed;
vy = Math.sin(angle) * speed;

Apply friction (the easy way)

vx *= friction;
vy *= friction;

Simple easing, long form

var dx = targetX - sprite.x;
var dy = targetY - sprite.y;
vx = dx * easing;
vy = dy * easing;
sprite.x += vx;
sprite.y += vy;

Simple easing, abbreviated form

vx = (targetX - sprite.x) * easing;
vy = (targetY - sprite.y) * easing;
sprite.x += vx;
sprite.y += vy;

Simple easing, short form

sprite.x += (targetX - sprite.x) * easing;
sprite.y += (targetY - sprite.y) * easing;

Simple spring, long form

var ax = (targetX - sprite.x) * spring;
var ay = (targetY - sprite.y) * spring;
vx += ax;
vy += ay;
vx *= friction;
vy *= friction;
sprite.x += vx;
sprite.y += vy;

Simple spring, abbreviated form

vx = (targetX - sprite.x) * spring;
vy = (targetY - sprite.y) * spring;
vx *= friction;
vy *= friction;
sprite.x += vx;
sprite.y += vy;

Simple spring, short form

vx = (targetX - sprite.x) * spring;
vy = (targetY - sprite.y) * spring;
sprite.x += (vx *= friction);
sprite.y += (vy *= friction);

Offset spring

var dx = sprite.x - fixedX;
var dy = sprite.y - fixedY;
var angle = Math.atan2(dy, dx);
var targetX = fixedX + Math.cos(angle) * springLength;
var targetY = fixedY + Math.sin(angle) * springLength;
// Spring to targetX and targetY;

Distance-based collision detection

// Starting with spriteA and spriteB
// If using a plain sprite, or obejct without a radius property
// you can use with and height divided by 2

var dx = spriteB.x - spriteA.x;
var dy = spriteB.y - spriteA.y;
var dist = Math.sqrt(dx*dx + dy*dy);
if(dist < spriteA.radius + spriteB.radius)
{
  // handle collision
}

Multiple-objects collision detection

var numObjects = 10;
for (var i = 0; i < numObjects; i++)
{
  var objectA = objects[i];
  for (var j = i+1; j < numObjects; j++)
  {
    var objectB = objects[j];
    // perform collision detection
    // between objectA and objectB
  }
}

Coordinate rotation

x1 = Math.cos(angle) * x - Math.sin(angle) * y;
y1 = Math.cos(angle) * y + Math.sin(angle) * x;

Reverse coordiante rotation

x1 = Math.cos(angle) * x + Math.sin(angle) * y;
y1 = Math.cos(angle) * y - Math.sin(angle) * x;

Conservation of momentum in ActionScript (with a shortcut)

var vxTotal = vx0 - vx1;
vx0 = ((ball0.mass - ball1.mass) * vx0 + 2 * ball1.mass * vx1) / (ball0.mass + ball1.mass);
vx1 = vxTotal + vx0;

Gravity implementation

function gravitate(partA, partB) {
  var dx = partB.x - partA.x;
  var dy = partB.y - partA.y;
  var distSQ  = dx*dx + dy*dy;
  var dist = Math.sqrt(distSQ);
  var force = partA.mass * partB.mass / distSQ;
  var ax = force * dx / dist;
  var ay = force * dy / dist;
  partA.vx += ax / partA.mass;
  partA.vy += ay / partA.mass;
  partB.vx += ax / partB.mass;
  partB.vy += ay / partB.mass;
}
