Title: LWJGL 3 - Missing math classes?
Post by: j8a2b0e7 on December 17, 2014, 02:27:36
Hi there.

I recently upgraded to LWJGL and maybe I misread something but the current release version is missing all of the math classes for me? I am thinkin Vector2f, Vector3f, Matrix4f etc.
Is this intentional? Will they return?

Thanks!

The maths package got nerfed in LWJGL3 to make it more of a light weight light weight game library.

You can use the source code from LWJGL2, write your own (a minimal vector maths library really isn't too much work) or there are plenty of Java maths libraries out there.

If you intend to use LWJGL 3.0 you will either need to create your own math utilities or use another library. I would recommend ra4king's utilities, which can be found here (https://github.com/ra4king/LWJGL-OpenGL-Utils/tree/master/src/com/ra4king/opengl/util/math). Or, if you would rather you can use SHC's SilenceEngine which you can find here (https://github.com/ra4king/LWJGL-OpenGL-Utils/tree/master/src/com/ra4king/opengl/util/math). I believe both of these are in development, so don't expect too much from them at the moment. That said, they are great resources, and I would highly recommend them.

Edit: Correction for SHC.

Thanks @Zeroni for recommending my SilenceEngine (http://www.java-gaming.org/topics/iconified/34907/view.html), but my engine is not Immediate Mode, I use GL3.3 core profile for the entire engine.
