About

Simple extension that provides math and other utility functions for arcade makecode alongside exposing useful commands to blocks.

Whats implemented:

• PI – Allows you to retrieve the value of pi without manually typing it in.
• Distance Calculator – Allows you to calculate the distance between two positions.
• Angle Calculator – Allows you to calculate the angle between two positions.
• Radians – Converts a given angle to radians.
• Degrees – Converts the given radians back into degrees.
• Clamp – Limits a value within a specified range.
• RaycastTileMap – Raycasts in a direction to retrieve tile map data, such as whether a wall or sprite is within the area.
• Velocity – Calculates the velocity for a position using the provided speed and angle.
• Angle Position – Returns the new position based on a given angle, distance, and starting position.
• Show Stats – Makes helpful stats be avaible when using blocks.
• Show Debug – Makes the debug view that shows hitboxes and more avaible when using blocks.
• ShootLaser – Creates a line of sprites towards an angle intended to be used as a laser.

So now i don’t have to keep writing all these commands manually each time lol.
