[Chicken-users] new egg: glm
Dear Chickeners! In my OpenGL and physics-simulation adventures I have fequently come across the need for a small math library in Chicken. I spent some time looking at the eggs out there, but some of them seemed a little overkill for my needs, so I decided to roll my own. I was looking for: - binary compatible with C/OpenGL/GLSL data-storage (f32vectors and friends) - simple to use and short naming/syntax - can multiply/add etc vector/matrix - includes some transformation helpers like translate, rotate and scale - not a lot of dependencies In C++ land, it seems like GLM math library is popular, and it matches the criteria above (except language). A few days in, I've got a fairly functional math util egg: https://github.com/Adellica/chicken-glm Feedback is very welcome! In particular, because of all the different types (vec2, vec3, ivec2 etc), I wrote a template macro which does basic substring substitution: (template `((D 2 3 4)) (define (make-vecD fill) (make-f32vector D fill)) (define (make-dvecD fill) (make-f64vector D fill)) (define (make-ivecD fill) (make-s32vector D fill)) (define (make-uvecD fill) (make-u32vector D fill)) (define (make-bvecD fill) (make-u8vector D fill))) That will expand the body three times, each time substituting D with 2~4. This works quite nicely and saves me a lot of copy-paste, but I don't know if it's in the Scheme spirit. Any thoughts? Vectors use structures from srfi-4, and matrices get their own record (storing column-count along with its srfi-4 vector). Once chicken-glm stabelizes a little, I'd like to make it reachable from chicken-install.

Wild! I've looked at binding GLM a few times but shied away from the wall of templates. Your solution is a rather elegant hack, IMHO, leaving little to the clients of your bindings to fuss about.

Re: [Chicken-users] new egg: glm
I'm glad to hear, I hope this will come in handy. I'll license it with whatever fits the Chicken model and community. Is that BSD perhaps? It still needs a bit of work though, let me know if there are any feature requests and I'll see what I can do. K. On Apr 15, 2013 7:14 PM, Dan Leslie d...@ironoxide.ca wrote: Wild!

[Chicken-users] egg documentation with subpages
Hi, It is now possible to break up egg documentation into several pages. This was previously possible on the wiki, but is now supported by chicken-doc as well. Procedure: instead of creating a file, create a directory and populate it with subpage files. To document the main page, call the page index. Example: allegro/color allegro/display allegro/index chicken-doc-admin supports directories and will automatically recurse. It also works with the host-installed eggs option. Notes: - You should probably create at least a stub index file because otherwise the main page will 404. - It's a good idea to place links to the subpages on the main page. chickadee will automatically pick up subpages and place them in the contents bar, but the wiki will not. - All subpages are considered eggs, which means: - It may confuse users who expect each doc page to correspond to exactly one egg, unit or module -- there is no allegro color egg for example. - Subpages will show up in a chicken-doc identifier or egg search, which may be confusing or annoying. There may eventually need to be a way to tag a page as something other than an egg for chicken-doc, but that doesn't exist yet.

Re: [Chicken-users] egg documentation with subpages
Nice! I didn't realize chicken-doc-admin was even a thing, and this ability should make updating docs much easier to do. When next I get around to updating the allegro egg from 5.06 to 5.09 and fixing the library discovery bug I'll see about also switching over to using this to manage the documentation. Thanks! -Dan On 4/15/2013 3:41 PM, Jim Ursetto wrote: Hi, It is now possible to break up egg documentation into several pages.
