# HUMP

## Introduction

Helper Utilities for a Multitude of Problems is a set of lightweight helpers
for the awesome LÖVE Engine.

hump differs from other libraries in that every component is independent of the
remaining ones. hump's footprint is very small and thus should fit nicely into
your projects.


## Module hump.gamestate [A gamestate system.]

	Gamestate = require "hump.gamestate"

A gamestate encapsulates independent data an behaviour in a single table.

A typical game could consist of a menu-state, a level-state and a game-over-state.

#### Example:

	local menu = {} -- previously: Gamestate.new()
	local game = {}
	
	function menu:draw()
		love.graphics.print("Press Enter to continue", 10, 10)
	end
	
	function menu:keyreleased(key, code)
		if key == 'enter' then
			Gamestate.switch(game)
		end
	end
	
	function game:enter()
		Entities.clear()
		-- setup entities here
	end
	
	function game:update(dt)
		Entities.update(dt)
	end
	
	function game:draw()
		Entities.draw()
	end
	
	function love.load()
		Gamestate.registerEvents()
		Gamestate.switch(menu)
	end


### Callbacks [Gamestate Callbacks.]

A gamestate can define all callbacks that LÖVE defines. In addition, there are
callbacks for initalizing, entering and leaving a state:

=`init()`=
	Called once before entering the state. See [`switch()`](#hump.gamestateswitch).
=`enter(previous, ...)`=
	Called when entering the state. See [`switch()`](#hump.gamestateswitch).
=`leave()`=
	Called when leaving a state. See [`switch()`](#hump.gamestateswitch).
=`update()`=
	Update the game state. Called every frame.
=`draw()`=
	Draw on the screen. Called every frame.
=`focus()`=
	Called if the window gets or looses focus.
=`keypressed()`=
	Triggered when a key is pressed.
=`keyreleased()`=
	Triggered when a key is released.
=`mousepressed()`=
	Triggered when a mouse button is pressed.
=`mousereleased()`=
	Triggered when a mouse button is released.
=`joystickpressed()`=
	Triggered when a joystick button is pressed.
=`joystickreleased()`=
	Triggered when a joystick button is released.
=`quit()`=
	Called on quitting the game. Only called on the active gamestate.

When using [`registerEvents()`](#hump.gamestateregisterEvents), all these
callbacks will be called by the corresponding LÖVE callbacks and receive
receive the same arguments (e.g. `state:update(dt)` will be called by
`love.update(dt)`).

#### Example:

	menu = {} -- previously: Gamestate.new()
	function menu:init() -- run only once
		self.background = love.graphics.newImage('bg.jpg')
		Buttons.initialize()
	end

	function menu:enter(previous) -- run every time the state is entered
		Buttons.setActive(Buttons.start)
	end

	function menu:update(dt)
		Buttons.update(dt)
	end

	function menu:draw()
		love.graphics.draw(self.background, 0, 0)
		Buttons.draw()
	end

	function menu:keyreleased(key)
		if key == 'up' then
			Buttons.selectPrevious()
		elseif key == 'down' then
			Buttons.selectNext()
		elseif
			Buttons.active:onClick()
		end
	end

	function menu:mousereleased(x,y, mouse_btn)
		local button = Buttons.hovered(x,y)
		if button then
			Button.select(button)
			if mouse_btn == 'l' then
				button:onClick()
			end
		end
	end

### function new() [Create a new gamestate.]

**Deprecated: Use the table constructor instead (see example)**

Declare a new gamestate (just an empty table). A gamestate can define several
callbacks.

#### Returns:

=Gamestate=
    An empty table.

#### Example:

    menu = {}
    -- deprecated method:
    menu = Gamestate.new()


### function switch(to, ...) [Switch to gamestate.]

Switch to a gamestate, with any additional arguments passed to the new state.

Switching a gamestate will call the `leave()` callback on the current
gamestate, replace the current gamestate with `to`, call the `init()` function
if the state was not yet inialized and finally call `enter(old_state, ...)` on
the new gamestate.


#### Parameters:

=Gamestate to=
    Target gamestate.
=mixed ...=
    Additional arguments to pass to `to:enter(current, ...)`.


#### Returns:

=mixed=
    The results of `to:enter(current, ...)`

#### Example:

    Gamestate.switch(game, level_two)



### function current() [Get current gamestate.]

Returns the currently activated gamestate.


#### Returns:

=table=
    The active gamestate.


#### Example:

    function love.keypressed(key)
        if Gamestate.current() ~= menu and key == 'p' then
            Gamestate.push(pause)
        end
    end


### function push(to, ...) [Push state on top of the stack.]

Pushes the `to` on top of the state stack, i.e. makes it the active state.
Semantics are the same as `switch(to, ...)`, except that `leave()` is *not*
called on the previously active state.

Useful for pause screens, menus, etc.


#### Parameters:

=Gamestate to=
    Target gamestate.
=mixed ...=
    Additional arguments to pass to `to:enter(current, ...)`.


#### Returns:

=mixed=
    The results of `to:enter(current, ...)`

#### Example:

    -- pause gamestate
    Pause = Gamestate.new()
    function Pause:enter(from)
        self.from = from -- record previous state
    end

    function Pause:draw()
        local W, H = love.graphics.getWidth(), love.graphics.getHeight()
        -- draw previous screen
        self.from:draw()
        -- overlay with pause message
        love.graphics.setColor(0,0,0, 100)
        love.graphics.rectangle('fill', 0,0, W,H)
        love.graphics.setColor(255,255,255)
        love.graphics.printf('PAUSE', 0, H/2, W, 'center')
    end

    -- [...]
    function love.keypressed(key)
        if Gamestate.current() ~= menu and key == 'p' then
            Gamestate.push(pause)
        end
    end


### function pop() [Pops state from the stack.]

Calls `leave()` on the current state and then removes it from the stack, making
the state below the current state. Does *not* call `enter()` on the activated
state.

#### Returns:

=mixed=
    The results of `state:leave()`

#### Example:

    -- extending the example of Gamestate.push() above
    function Pause:keypressed(key)
        if key == 'p' then
            Gamestate.pop() -- return to previous state
        end
    end

### function <callback>(...) [Call function on active gamestate.]

Calls a function on the current gamestate. Can be any function, but is intended to
be one of the [callbacks](#hump.gamestateCallbacks). Mostly useful when not using
[`registerEvents()`](#hump.gamestateregisterEvents).

#### Parameters:

=mixed ...=
	Arguments to pass to the corresponding function.

#### Returns:

=mixed=
	The result of the callback function.

#### Example:

	function love.draw()
		Gamestate.draw() -- <callback> is `draw'
	end
	
	function love.update(dt)
		Gamestate.update(dt) -- pass dt to currentState:update(dt)
	end
	
	function love.keypressed(key, code)
		Gamestate.keypressed(key, code) -- pass multiple arguments
	end


### function registerEvents(callbacks) [Automatically do all of the above when needed.]

Overwrite love callbacks to call `Gamestate.update()`, `Gamestate.draw()`, etc.
automatically. love callbacks (e.g. `love.update()`) are still invoked.

This is by done by overwriting the love callbacks, e.g.:

	local old_update = love.update
	function love.update(dt)
		old_update(dt)
		return Gamestate.current:update(dt)
	end

**Note:** Only works when called in love.load() or any other function that is
executed *after* the whole file is loaded.

#### Parameters:

=table callbacks (optional)=
	Names of the callbacks to register. If omitted, register all love callbacks.

#### Example:

	function love.load()
		Gamestate.registerEvents()
		Gamestate.switch(menu)
	end
	
	-- love callback will still be invoked
	function love.update(dt)
		Timer.update(dt)
		-- no need for Gamestate.update(dt)
	end

#### Example:

	function love.load()
		-- only register draw, update and quit
		Gamestate.registerEvents{'draw', 'update', 'quit'}
		Gamestate.switch(menu)
	end



## Module hump.timer [Delayed and time-limited function calls.]

    Timer = require "hump.timer"

hump.timer offers a simple interface to schedule the execution of functions. It
is possible to run functions *after* and *for* some amount of time. For
example, a timer could be set to move critters every 5 seconds or to make the
player invincible for a short amount of time.

#### Example:

	function love.keypressed(key)
		if key == ' ' then
			Timer.add(1, function() print("Hello, world!") end)
		end
	end
	
	function love.update(dt)
		Timer.update(dt)
	end


### function new() [Create new timer instance.]

**If you don't need multiple independent schedulers, you can use the
global/default timer (see examples).**

Creates a new timer instance that is independent of the global timer: It will
manage it's own list of scheduled functions and does not in any way affect the
the global timer. Likewise, the global timer does not affect timer instances.

**Note:** Timer instances use the colon-notation (e.g. `instance:update(dt)`),
while the global timer uses the dot-notation (e.g. `Timer.update(dt)`).

#### Returns:

=Timer=
	A timer instance.

#### Example:

	menuTimer = Timer.new()


### function add(delay, func) [Schedule a function.]

Schedule a function. The function will be executed after `delay` seconds have
elapsed, given that `update(dt)` is called every frame.

**Note:** There is no guarantee that the delay will not be exceeded, it is only
guaranteed that the function will *not* be executed *before* the delay has
passed.

`func` will receive itself as only parameter. This is useful to implement
periodic behavior (see the example).

#### Parameters:

=number delay=
	Number of seconds the function will be delayed.
=function func=
	The function to be delayed.

#### Returns:

=table=
	The timer handle.

#### Example:

	-- grant the player 5 seconds of immortality
	player.isInvincible = true
	Timer.add(5, function() player.isInvincible = false end)

#### Example:

	-- print "foo" every second. See also addPeriodic()
	Timer.add(1, function(func) print("foo") Timer.add(1, func) end)

#### Example:

	--Using a timer instance:
	menuTimer:add(1, finishAnimation)


### function addPeriodic(delay, func) [Add a periodic function.]

Add a function that will be called `count` times every `delay` seconds.

If `count` is omitted, the function will be called until it returns `false` or
[`cancel(handle)`](#hump.timercancel) or [`clear()`](#hump.timerclear) is
called.

#### Parameters:

=number delay=
	Number of seconds between two consecutive function calls.
=function func=
	The function to be called periodically.
=number count (optional)=
	Number of times the function is to be called.

#### Returns:

=table=
	The timer handle. See also [`cancel()`](#hump.timercancel).

#### Example:

	-- toggle light on and off every second
	Timer.addPeriodic(1, function() lamp:toggleLight() end)

#### Example:

	-- launch 5 fighters in quick succession (using a timer instance)
	mothership_timer:addPeriodic(0.3, function() self:launchFighter() end, 5)

#### Example:

	-- flicker player's image as long as he is invincible
	Timer.addPeriodic(0.1, function()
		player:flipImage()
		return player.isInvincible
	end)


### function do_for(delay, func, after) [Run a function for the next few seconds.]

Run `func(dt)` for the next `delta` seconds. The function is called every time
`update(dt)` is called. Optionally run `after()` once `delta` seconds have
passed.

`after()` will receive itself as only parameter.

**Note:** You should not add new timers in `func(dt)`, as this can lead to random
crashes.

#### Parameters:

=number delta=
	Number of seconds the func will be called.
=function func=
	The function to be called on `update(dt)`.
=function after (optional)=
	A function to be called after delta seconds.

#### Returns:

=table=
	The timer handle.

#### Example:

	-- play an animation for 5 seconds
	Timer.do_for(5, function(dt) animation:update(dt) end)

#### Example:

	-- shake the camera for one second
	local orig_x, orig_y = camera:pos()
	Timer.do_for(1, function()
	    camera:lookAt(orig_x + math.random(-2,2), orig_y + math.random(-2,2))
	end, function()
	    -- reset camera position
	    camera:lookAt(orig_x, orig_y)
	end)

#### Example:

	player.isInvincible = true
	-- flash player for 3 seconds
	local t = 0
	player.timer:do_for(3, function(dt)
	    t = t + dt
	    player.visible = (t % .2) < .1
	end, function()
	    -- make sure the player is visible after three seconds
	    player.visible = true
	    player.isInvincible = false
	end)


### function cancel(handle) [Cancel a scheduled function.]

Prevent a timer from being executed in the future.

#### Parameters:

=table handle=
	The function to be canceled.

#### Example:

	function tick()
		print('tick... tock...')
	end
	handle = Timer.addPeriodic(1, tick)
	-- later
	Timer.cancel(handle) -- NOT: Timer.cancel(tick)


### function clear() [Remove all timed and periodic functions.]

Remove all timed and periodic functions. Functions that have not yet been
executed will discarded.

#### Example:

	Timer.clear()

#### Example:

	menu_timer:clear()


### function update(dt)  [Update scheduled functions.]

Update timers and execute functions if the deadline is reached. Use this in
`love.update(dt)`.

#### Parameters:

=number dt=
	Time that has passed since the last `update()`.

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
	    do_stuff()
	    Timer.update(dt)
	end

#### Example:

	-- using hump.gamestate and a timer instance
	function menuState:update(dt)
	    self.timer:update(dt)
	end



## Module hump.vector [2D vector math.]

	vector = require "hump.vector"

A handy 2D vector class providing most of the things you do with vectors.

You can access the individual coordinates by using vec.x and vec.y.

#### Example:

	function player:update(dt)
		local delta = vector(0,0)
		if love.keyboard.isDown('left') then
			delta.x = -1
		elseif love.keyboard.isDown('right') then
			delta.x =  1
		end
		if love.keyboard.isDown('up') then
			delta.y = -1
		elseif love.keyboard.isDown('down') then
			delta.y =  1
		end
		delta:normalize_inplace()

		player.velocity = player.velocity + delta * player.acceleration * dt

		if player.velocity:len() > player.max_velocity then
			player.velocity = player.velocity:normalized() * player.max_velocity
		end

		player.position = player.position + player.velocity * dt
	end

### Operators [Arithmetics and relations.]

Vector arithmetic is implemented by using `__add`, `__mul` and other
metamethods:

=`vector + vector = vector`=
	Component wise sum.
=`vector - vector = vector`=
	Component wise difference.
=`vector * vector = number`=
	Dot product.
=`number * vector = vector`=
	Scalar multiplication (scaling).
=`vector * number = vector`=
	Scalar multiplication.
=`vector / number = vector`=
	Scalar multiplication.

Relational operators are defined, too:

=`a == b`=
	Same as `a.x == b.x and a.y == b.y`.
=`a <= b`=
	Same as `a.x <= b.x and a.y <= b.y`.
=`a < b`=
	Lexical sort: `a.x < b.x or (a.x == b.x and a.y < b.y)`.

#### Example:

	-- acceleration, player.velocity and player.position are vectors
	acceleration = vector(0,-9)
	player.velocity = player.velocity + acceleration * dt
	player.position = player.position + player.velocity * dt


### function new(x,y) [Create a new vector.]

Create a new vector.

#### Parameters:

=numbers x,y=
	Coordinates.

#### Returns:

=vector=
	The vector.

#### Example:

	a = vector.new(10,10)

#### Example:

	-- as a shortcut, you can call the module like a function:
	vector = require "hump.vector"
	a = vector(10,10)


### function isvector(v) [Test if value is a vector.]

Test whether a variable is a vector.

#### Parameters:

=mixed v=
	The variable to test.

#### Returns:

=boolean=
	`true` if `v` is a vector, `false` otherwise

#### Example:

	if not vector.isvector(v) then
	    v = vector(v,0)
	end


### function vector:clone() [Copy a vector.]

Copy a vector. Simply assigning a vector a vector to a variable will create a
*reference*, so when modifying the vector referenced by the new variable would
also change the old one:

	a = vector(1,1) -- create vector
	b = a           -- b references a
	c = a:clone()   -- c is a copy of a
	b.x = 0         -- changes a,b and c
	print(a,b,c)    -- prints '(1,0), (1,0), (1,1)'

#### Returns:

=vector=
	Copy of the vector

#### Example:

	copy = original:clone()


### function vector:unpack() [Extract coordinates.]

Extract coordinates.

#### Returns:

=numbers=
	The coordinates

	x,y = pos:unpack()

#### Example:

	love.graphics.draw(self.image, self.pos:unpack())


### function vector:permul(other) [Per element multiplication.]

Multiplies vectors coordinate wise, i.e. `result = vector(a.x * b.x, a.y *
b.y)`.

This does not change either argument vectors, but creates a new one.

#### Parameters:

=vector other=
	The other vector

#### Returns:

=vector=
	The new vector as described above

#### Example:

	scaled = original:permul(vector(1,1.5))


### function vector:len() [Get length.]

Get length of a vector, i.e. `math.sqrt(vec.x * vec.x + vec.y * vec.y)`.

#### Returns:

#### Returns:

=number=
	Squared length of the vector.

#### Example:

	-- get closest vertex to a given vector
	closest, dsq = vertices[1], (pos - vertices[1]):len2()
	for i = 2,#vertices do
		local temp = (pos - vertices[i]):len2()
		if temp < dsq then
			closest, dsq = vertices[i], temp
		end
	end


### function vector:dist(other) [Distance to other vector.]

Get distance of two vectors. The same as `(a - b):len()`.

#### Parameters:

=vector other=
	Other vector to measure the distance to.

#### Returns:

		end
	end

#### Parameters:

=vector other=
	Other vector to measure the distance to.

#### Returns:

	The squared distance of the vectors.

#### Example:

	-- get closest vertex to a given vector
	-- slightly faster than the example using len2()
	closest, dsq = vertices[1], pos:dist2(vertices[1])
	for i = 2,#vertices do
		local temp = pos:dist2(vertices[i])
		if temp < dsq then
			closest, dsq = vertices[i], temp
		end
	end


### function vector:normalized() [Get normalized vector.]

Get normalized vector, i.e. a vector with the same direction as the input
vector, but with length 1.

This does not change the input vector, but creates a new vector.

#### Returns:

=vector=
	Vector with same direction as the input vector, but length 1.

#### Example:

	direction = velocity:normalized()


### function vector:normalize_inplace() [Normalize vector in-place.]

intermediate results.

**This modifies the vector. If in doubt, use
[`vector:normalized()`](#hump.vectornormalized).**

#### Returns:

=vector=
	Itself - the normalized vector

#### Example:

	normal = (b - a):perpendicular():normalize_inplace()


### function vector:rotated(angle) [Get rotated vector.]

Get a rotated vector.

This does not change the input vector, but creates a new vector.

#### Parameters:

	Rotation angle in radians.

#### Returns:

=vector=
	The rotated vector

#### Example:

	-- approximate a circle
	circle = {}

	end

#### Sketch:

![Rotated vector sketch](vector-rotated.png)


### function vector:rotate_inplace(angle) [Rotate vector in-place.]

`vec:rotate(math.pi/2)`.

#### Returns:

=vector=
	A vector perpendicular to the input vector

#### Example:

	normal = (b - a):perpendicular():normalize_inplace()

#### Sketch:

	Cross product of both vectors.

#### Example:

	parallelogram_area = a:cross(b)


### function vector:angleTo(other) [Measure angle between two vectors.]

Measures the angle between two vectors. If `other` is omitted it defaults
to the vector `(0,0)`, i.e. the function returns the angle to the coordinate
system.

#### Parameters:

=vector other (optional)=
	Vector to measure the angle to.

#### Returns:

=number=
	Angle in radians.

#### Example:

	lean = self.upvector:angleTo(vector(0,1))
	if lean > .1 then self:fallOver() end


## Module hump.vector-light [Lightweight 2D vector math.]

	vector = require "hump.vector-light"

An table-free version of [`hump.vector`](#hump.vector). Instead of a vector
type, `hump.vector-light` provides functions that operate on numbers.

**Note:** Using this module instead of [`hump.vector`](#hump.vector) might
result in faster code, but does so at the expense of readability. Unless you
are sure that it causes a significant performance penalty, I recommend using
[`hump.vector`](#hump.vector).

#### Example:

	function player:update(dt)
		local dx,dy = 0,0
		if love.keyboard.isDown('left') then
			dx = -1
		elseif love.keyboard.isDown('right') then
			dx =  1
		end
		if love.keyboard.isDown('up') then
			dy = -1
		elseif love.keyboard.isDown('down') then
			dy =  1
		end
		dx,dy = vector.normalize(dx, dy)

		player.velx, player.vely = vector.add(player.velx, player.vely,
										vector.mul(dy, dx, dy))

		if vector.len(player.velx, player.vely) > player.max_velocity then
			player.velx, player.vely = vector.mul(player.max_velocity,
								vector.normalize(player.velx, player.vely)
		end

		player.x = player.x + dt * player.velx
		player.y = player.y + dt * player.vely
	end

### function str(x,y) [String representation.]

Transforms a vector to a string of the form `(x,y)`.

#### Parameters:

=numbers x,y=
	The vector

#### Returns:
=string=
	The string representation

#### Example:

	print(vector.str(love.mouse.getPosition()))

### function mul(s, x,y) [Product of a vector and a scalar.]

Computes `x*s,y*s`. The order of arguments is chosen so that it's possible to
chain multiple operations (see example).

#### Parameters:

=number s=
	The scalar.
= numbers x,y=
	The vector.

			self.pos = pos
			self.img = img
		end,
		speed = 5

		-- see hump.vector
		local dir = (player.pos - self.pos):normalize_inplace()
		self.pos = self.pos + dir * Critter.speed * dt
	end
	
	function Critter:draw()
		love.graphics.draw(self.img, self.pos.x, self.pos.y)
	end


### function new{init = constructor, __includes = parents, ...} [Declare a new class.]

Declare a new class.

`init()` will receive the new object instance as first argument. Any other
arguments will also be forwarded (see examples), i.e. `init()` has the
following signature:

	function init(self, ...)

If you do not specify a constructor, an empty constructor will be used instead.

The name of the variable that holds the module can be used as a shortcut to
`new()` (see example).

#### Parameters:

=function constructor (optional)=
	Class constructor. Can be accessed with theclass.init(object, ...)
=class or table of classes parents (optional)=
	Classes to inherit from. Can either be a single class or a table of classes
=mixed ... (optional)=
	Any other fields or methods common to all instances of this class.

#### Returns:

=class=
	The class.

#### Example:

	Class = require 'hump.class' -- `Class' is now a shortcut to new()
	
	-- define a class class
	Feline = Class{
		init = function(self, size, weight)
			self.size = size
			self.weight = weight
		end;
		-- define a method
		stats = function(self)
			return string.format("size: %.02f, weight: %.02f", self.size, self.weight)
		end;
	}
	
	-- create two objects
	garfield = Feline(.7, 45)
	felix = Feline(.8, 12)
	
	print("Garfield: " .. garfield:stats(), "Felix: " .. felix:stats())

#### Example:

	Class = require 'hump.class'
	
	-- same as above, but with 'external' function definitions
	Feline = Class{}
	
	function Feline:init(size, weight)
		self.size = size
		self.weight = weight
	end
	
	function Feline:stats()
		return string.format("size: %.02f, weight: %.02f", self.size, self.weight)
	end
	
	garfield = Feline(.7, 45)
	print(Feline, garfield)

#### Example:

	Class = require 'hump.class'
	A = Class{
		foo = function() print('foo') end
	}
	
	B = Class{
		bar = function() print('bar') end
	}
	
	-- single inheritance
	C = Class{__includes = A}
	instance = C()
	instance:foo() -- prints 'foo'
	instance:bar() -- error: function not defined
	
	-- multiple inheritance
	D = Class{__includes = {A,B}}
	instance = D()
	instance:foo() -- prints 'foo'
	instance:bar() -- prints 'bar'

#### Example:

	-- class attributes are shared across instances
	A = Class{ foo = 'foo' } -- foo is a class attribute/static member
	
	one, two, three = A(), A(), A()
	print(one.foo, two.foo, three.foo) --> prints 'foo    foo    foo'
	
	one.foo = 'bar' -- overwrite/specify for instance `one' only
	print(one.foo, two.foo, three.foo) --> prints 'bar    foo    foo'
	
	A.foo = 'baz' -- overwrite for all instances without specification
	print(one.foo, two.foo, three.foo) --> prints 'bar    baz    baz'


### function class.init(object, ...) [Call class constructor.]

Calls class constructor of a class on an object.

Derived classes should use this function their constructors to initialize the
parent class(es) portions of the object.

#### Parameters:

=Object object=
	The object. Usually `self`.
=mixed ...=
	Arguments to pass to the constructor.

#### Returns:

=mixed=
	Whatever the parent class constructor returns.


#### Example:

	Class = require 'hump.class'
	
	Shape = Class{
		init = function(self, area)
			self.area = area
		end;
		__tostring = function(self)
			return "area = " .. self.area
		end
	}
	
	Rectangle = Class{__includes = Shape,
		init = function(self, width, height)
			Shape.init(self, width * height)
			self.width  = width
			self.height = height
		end;
		__tostring = function(self)
			local strs = {
				"width = " .. self.width,
				"height = " .. self.height,
				Shape.__tostring(self)
			}
			return table.concat(strs, ", ")
		end
	}
	
	print( Rectangle(2,4) ) -- prints 'width = 2, height = 4, area = 8'

### function class:include(other) [Explicit class inheritance/mixin support.]

Inherit functions and variables of another class, but if they are not already
defined. This is done by (deeply) copying the functions and variables over to
the subclass.

**Note:** `class:include()` doesn't actually care if the arguments supplied are
hump classes. Just any table will work.

**Note 2:** You can use `Class.include(a, b)` to copy any fields from table `a`
to table `b` (see second example).

#### Parameters:

=tables other=
	Parent classes/mixins.

#### Returns:

=table=
	The class.

#### Example:

	Class = require 'hump.class'
	
	Entity = Class{
		init = function(self)
			GameObjects.register(self)
		end
	}
	
	Collidable = {
		dispatch_collision = function(self, other, dx, dy)
			if self.collision_handler[other.type])
				return collision_handler[other.type](self, other, dx, dy)
			end
			return collision_handler["*"](self, other, dx, dy)
		end,
	
		collision_handler = {["*"] = function() end},
	}
	
	Spaceship = Class{
		init = function(self)
			self.type = "Spaceship"
			-- ...
		end
	}
	
	-- make Spaceship collidable
	Spaceship:include(Collidable)
	
	Spaceship.collision_handler["Spaceship"] = function(self, other, dx, dy)
		-- ...
	end

#### Example:

	-- using Class.include()
	Class = require 'hump.class'
	a = {
		foo = 'bar',
		bar = {one = 1, two = 2, three = 3},
		baz = function() print('baz') end,
	}
	b = {
		foo = 'nothing to see here...'
	}
	
	Class.include(b, a) -- copy values from a to b
	                    -- note that neither a nor b are hump classes!

	print(a.foo, b.foo) -- prints 'bar    nothing to see here...'
	
	b.baz() -- prints 'baz'
	
	b.bar.one = 10 -- changes only values in b
	print(a.bar.one, b.bar.one) -- prints '1    10'

### function class:clone() [Clone class/prototype support.]

Create a clone/deep copy of the class.

**Note:** You can use `Class.clone(a)` to create a deep copy of any table
(see second example).

#### Returns:

=table=
	A deep copy of the class/table.


#### Example:

	Class = require 'hump.class'
	
	point = Class{ x = 0, y = 0 }
	
	a = point:clone()
	a.x, a.y = 10, 10
	print(a.x, a.y) --> prints '10    10'
	
	b = point:clone()
	print(b.x, b.y) --> prints '10    10'

#### Example:

	-- using Class.clone() to copy tables
	Class = require 'hump.class'
	a = {
		foo = 'bar',
		bar = {one = 1, two = 2, three = 3},
		baz = function() print('baz') end,
	}
	b = Class.clone(a)
	
	b.baz() -- prints 'baz'
	b.bar.one = 10
	print(a.bar.one, b.bar.one) -- prints '1    10'

### Caveats [Common gotchas.]

Be careful when using metamethods like `__add` or `__mul`: If subclass inherits
those methods from a superclass, but does not overwrite them, the result of the
operation may be of the type superclass. Consider the following:

Class = require 'hump.class'

	A = Class{init = function(self, x) self.x = x end}
	function A:__add(other) return A(self.x + other.x) end
	function A:show() print("A:", self.x) end
	
	B = Class{init = function(self, x, y) A.init(self, x) self.y = y end}
	function B:show() print("B:", self.x, self.y) end
	function B:foo() print("foo") end
	B:include(A)
	
	one, two = B(1,2), B(3,4)
	result = one + two -- result will be of type A, *not* B!
	result:show()      -- prints "A:    4"
	result:foo()       -- error: method does not exist

Note that while you can define the `__index` metamethod of the class, this is
not a good idea: It will break the class mechanism. To add a custom `__index`
metamethod without breaking the class system, you have to use `rawget()`. But
beware that this won't affect subclasses:

	Class = require 'hump.class'
	
	A = Class{}
	function A:foo() print('bar') end
	
	function A:__index(key)
		print(key)
		return rawget(A, key)
	end
	
	instance = A()
	instance:foo() -- prints foo  bar
	
	B = Class{__includes = A}
	instance = B()
	instance:foo() -- prints only foo


## Module hump.signal [Simple Signal/Slot (aka. Observer) implementation.]

    Signals = require 'hump.signal'

A simple yet effective implementation of [Signals and
Slots](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signals_and_slots), also known as [Observer
pattern](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_pattern): Functions can be
dynamically bound to signals. When a *signal* is *emitted*, all registered
functions will be invoked. Simple as that.

`hump.signal` makes things more interesing by allowing to emit all signals that
match a [Lua string pattern](http://www.lua.org/manual/5.1/manual.html#5.4.1).

#### Example:

	-- in AI.lua
	signals.register('shoot', function(x,y, dx,dy)
		-- for every critter in the path of the bullet:
		-- try to avoid being hit
		for critter in pairs(critters) do
			if critter:intersectsRay(x,y, dx,dy) then
				critter:setMoveDirection(-dy, dx)
			end
		end
	end)
	
	-- in sounds.lua
	signals.register('shoot', function()
		Sounds.fire_bullet:play()
	end)
	
	-- in main.lua
	function love.keypressed(key)
		if key == ' ' then
			local x,y   = player.pos:unpack()
			local dx,dy = player.direction:unpack()
			signals.emit('shoot', x,y, dx,dy)
		end
	end

### function new() [Create a new signal registry]

**If you don't need multiple independent registries, you can use the
global/default registry (see examples).**

Creates a new signal registry that is independent of the default registry: It
will manage it's own list of signals and does not in any way affect the the
global registry. Likewise, the global registry does not affect the instance.

**Note:** Independent registries use the colon-notation (e.g.
`instance:emit("foo")`), while the global registry uses the dot-notation (e.g.
`Signal.emit("foo")`).

## Module hump.camera [A camera for LÖVE.]

	Camera = require "hump.camera"

A camera utility for LÖVE. A camera can "look" at a position. It can zoom in
and out and it can rotate it's view. In the background, this is done by
actually moving, scaling and rotating everything in the game world. But don't
worry about that.

#### Example:

	function love.load()
		cam = Camera(player.pos.x, player.pos.y)
	end

[`camera:lookAt(x,y)`](#hump.cameralookAt).

This function is shortcut to camera.x,camera.y = camera.x+dx, camera.y+dy.

#### Parameters:

=numbers dx,dy=
	Direction to move the camera.

#### Returns:

=camera=
	The camera.

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
		camera:move(dt * 5, dt * 6)
	end

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
		camera:move(dt * 5, dt * 6):rotate(dt)
	end


### function camera:lookAt(x,y) [Move camera to position.]

Let the camera look at a point. In other words, it sets the camera position. To
move the camera *by* some amount, use [`camera:move(x,y)`](#hump.cameramove).

This function is shortcut to `camera.x,camera.y = x, y`.

#### Parameters:

=numbers x,y=
	Position to look at.

#### Returns:

=camera=
	The camera.

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
		camera:lookAt(player.pos:unpack())
	end

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
		camera:lookAt(player.pos:unpack()):rotation(player.rot)
	end

### function camera:pos() [Get camera position.]

Returns `camera.x, camera.y`.

#### Returns:

=numbers=
	Camera position.

#### Example:

	-- let the camera fly!
	local cam_dx, cam_dy = 0, 0
	
	function love.mousereleased(x,y)
		local cx,cy = camera:position()
		dx, dy = x-cx, y-cy
	end
	
	function love.update(dt)
		camera:move(dx * dt, dy * dt)
	end


### function camera:rotate(angle) [Rotate camera.]

Rotate the camera by some angle. To set the angle use `camera.rot = new_angle`.

This function is shortcut to `camera.rot = camera.rot + angle`.

#### Parameters:

=number angle=
	Rotation angle in radians

#### Returns:

=camera=
	The camera.

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
		camera:rotate(dt)
	end

#### Example:

	function love.update(dt)
		camera:rotate(dt):move(dt,dt)
	end


### function camera:rotateTo(angle) [Set camera rotation.]

Set rotation: `camera.rot = angle`.

#### Parameters:

=number angle=
	Rotation angle in radians

#### Returns:

=number=
	The camera.

#### Example:

	camera:rotateTo(math.pi/2)


### function camera:zoom(mul) [Change zoom.]

*Multiply* zoom: `camera.scale = camera.scale * mul`.

#### Parameters:

=number mul=
	Zoom change. Should be > 0.

#### Returns:

=number=
	The camera.

#### Example:

	camera:zoom(2)   -- make everything twice as big

#### Example:

	camera:zoom(0.5) -- ... and back to normal

#### Example:

	camera:zoom(-1)  -- flip everything


### function camera:zoomTo(zoom) [Set zoom.]

Set zoom: `camera.scale = zoom`.

#### Parameters:

=number zoom=
	New zoom.

#### Returns:

=number=
	The camera.

#### Example:

	camera:zoomTo(1)


### function camera:attach() [Attach camera.]

Start looking through the camera.

Apply camera transformations, i.e. move, scale and rotate everything until
`camera:detach()` as if looking through the camera.

#### Example:

	function love.draw()
		camera:attach()
		draw_world()
		cam:detach()

		draw_hud()
	end


### function camera:detach() [Detach camera.]

Stop looking through the camera.

#### Example:

	function love.draw()
		camera:attach()
		draw_world()
		cam:detach()

		draw_hud()
	end


### function camera:draw(func) [Attach, draw, then detach.]

Wrap a function between a `camera:attach()/camera:detach()` pair:

	cam:attach()
	func()
	cam:detach()


#### Parameters:

=function func=
	Drawing function to be wrapped.

#### Example:

	function love.draw()
		camera:draw(draw_world)
		draw_hud()
	end


### function camera:worldCoords(x, y) [Convert point to world coordinates.]

Because a camera has a point it looks at, a rotation and a zoom factor, it
defines a coordinate system. A point now has two sets of coordinates: One
defines where the point is to be found in the game world, and the other
describes the position on the computer screen. The first set of coordinates is
called *world coordinates*, the second one *camera coordinates*. Sometimes it
is needed to convert between the two coordinate systems, for example to get the
position of a mouse click in the game world in a strategy game, or to see if an
object is visible on the screen.

`camera:worldCoords(x,y)` and `camera:cameraCoords(x,y)` transform a point
between these two coordinate systems.

#### Parameters:

=numbers x, y=
	Point to transform.

#### Returns:

=numbers=
	Transformed point.

#### Example:

	x,y = camera:worldCoords(love.mouse.getPosition())
	selectedUnit:plotPath(x,y)


### function camera:cameraCoords(x, y) [Convert point to camera coordinates.]

Because a camera has a point it looks at, a rotation and a zoom factor, it
defines a coordinate system. A point now has two sets of coordinates: One
defines where the point is to be found in the game world, and the other
describes the position on the computer screen. The first set of coordinates is
called *world coordinates*, the second one *camera coordinates*. Sometimes it
is needed to convert between the two coordinate systems, for example to get the
position of a mouse click in the game world in a strategy game, or to see if an
object is visible on the screen.

`camera:worldCoords(x,y)` and `camera:cameraCoords(x,y)` transform a point
between these two coordinate systems.

#### Parameters:

=numbers x, y=
	Point to transform.

#### Returns:

=numbers=
	Transformed point.

#### Example:

	x,y = cam:cameraCoords(player.pos)
	love.graphics.line(x, y, love.mouse.getPosition())


### function camera:mousepos() [Get mouse position in world coordinates.]

Shortcut to `camera:worldCoords(love.mouse.getPosition())`.

#### Returns:

=numbers=
	Mouse position in world coordinates.

#### Example:

	x,y = camera:mousepos()
	selectedUnit:plotPath(x,y)
