Operator overloading for vec3 and vec2

A while ago i wrote my own vector library with support for arithmetic operator overloading.

But i intensively use playcanvas and didn’t want to mix multiple vector types.
So i have made an adapter combining playcanvas vec2 and vec3 with my Operator class.

I provide a new function on pc object called calc, with that you can make real arithmetic operations.

const pos = pc.vec3(5, 6, 7);
const dir = pc.vec3(1, 0, 0);
// pos: { x: 5, y: 6, z: 7 }  dir: { x: 1, y: 0, z: 0 }

const offsetA = pc.calc(() => dir * 30 + pos);
// offsetA: { x: 35, y: 6, z: 7 }

Here is a small documentation how it can be used.


I hope you enjoy :).

That’s very useful! Especially to people coming from a C++/C# background.

Thanks for sharing @HellG.
