spatium 1.5.4

Spatium: a fast spatial math library

🚀Spatium: a fast python spatial math library

⚙️Main features

• Fast Pure Cython Implementation
  • ~20x speedup from pure python(3.12) impl on average
  • Based on custom code generation
  • Almost all static dispatch
• Spatial Math
  • Vector
    • Operators +, -, *, /, @(dot), ^(cross), |(distance) ...
    • Fast (compile time) swizzling (e.g. Vec3(1, 2, 3).zxy)
    • Flexible constructor (e.g. Vec3(Vec2(1, 2), 3))
    • Iterating and unpacking (e.g. x, y, z = Vec3(1, 2, 3))
    • Works with other libraries (pygame, numpy, ...)
  • Transform
    • Transform2D & Transform3D
• All floats are double-precision
• Full pythonic interface & GLSL-like API
• Stubs for better IDE support

🔧Implementation details

• Codegen!
  Custom code generation is used throughout this library.
  Every swizzle pattern and constructor are implemented as individual methods and properties (For performance reasons).
  As a result, code generation is required so that I don't have to maintain 50,000+ lines of code by hand...
  Besides, it also handles vector classes of every dimension and type (e.g. Vec2 Vec3 Vec2i Vec3i) are generated from the same template, so a lot of repetitive code is avoided.
  There's also a stub generator.

Credits

• This library is partially inspired by Godot's math library.

Notes

• This library was originally named GdMath, as I originally used this to bridge Python and Godot and focus on gamedev.

As development went on, I realized that it has become a versatile spatial math library which is also one of the fastest, I also found it useful in many projects.
Thus, I've decided to rename it to Spatium (since Spatial was taken), before it (possibly) gets used by more people.
