A simple math library intended for games, written in D.
The reason for making this library is for personal projects, learning, and it simply being fun to make. As such, this library is a work in progress, the API might change, and the implementation of math functions is definitely a naive one, and performance isn't a huge factor as it's intended for small 2D games, though I will still try and improve performance when I can.
Inspiration and ideas from: gfm and gl3n.
All functions are nogc.
Add to your project: dub add dath.
Import: import dath;.
As the library is pretty small, all the documentation will be provided in this README file. You can also look in the unittests of each module for usage.
