SIGNGets the sign of x, returns -1 if negative, 0 if 0, 1 if positive
WRAP_UPIncrements a value and wraps it if it exceeds some value. Can be used to circularly iterate through a list through idx = WRAP_UP(idx, length_of_list).
TOBITSHIFTGets shift x that would be required the bitflag (1<<x) We need the round because log has floating-point inaccuracy, and if we undershoot at all on list indexing we'll get the wrong index.
SPT_PROB_RATEConverts a probability/second chance to probability/seconds_per_tick chance For example, if you want an event to happen with a 10% per second chance, but your proc only runs every 5 seconds, do if(prob(100*SPT_PROB_RATE(0.1, 5)))
SPT_PROBLike SPT_PROB_RATE but easier to use, simply put if(SPT_PROB(10, 5))
DIAMOND_AREAThe number of cells in a taxicab circle (rasterized diamond) of radius X.
randfloatrand() but for floats, returns a random floating point number between L and H
IS_IN_BOUNDSTests if the value is in the given range.

DIAMOND_AREA

The number of cells in a taxicab circle (rasterized diamond) of radius X.

IS_IN_BOUNDS

Tests if the value is in the given range.

SIGN

Gets the sign of x, returns -1 if negative, 0 if 0, 1 if positive

SPT_PROB

Like SPT_PROB_RATE but easier to use, simply put if(SPT_PROB(10, 5))

SPT_PROB_RATE

Converts a probability/second chance to probability/seconds_per_tick chance For example, if you want an event to happen with a 10% per second chance, but your proc only runs every 5 seconds, do if(prob(100*SPT_PROB_RATE(0.1, 5)))

TOBITSHIFT

Gets shift x that would be required the bitflag (1<<x) We need the round because log has floating-point inaccuracy, and if we undershoot at all on list indexing we'll get the wrong index.

WRAP_UP

Increments a value and wraps it if it exceeds some value. Can be used to circularly iterate through a list through idx = WRAP_UP(idx, length_of_list).

randfloat

rand() but for floats, returns a random floating point number between L and H
