Add `Rotation2d` (#11658) # Objective Rotating vectors is a very common task. It is required for a variety of things both within Bevy itself and in many third party plugins, for example all over physics and collision detection, and for things like Bevy's bounding volumes and several gizmo implementations. For 3D, we can do this using a `Quat`, but for 2D, we do not have a clear and efficient option. `Mat2` can be used for rotating vectors if created using `Mat2::from_angle`, but this is not obvious to many users, it doesn't have many rotation helpers, and the type does not give any guarantees that it represents a valid rotation. We should have a proper type for 2D rotations. In addition to allowing for potential optimization, it would allow us to have a consistent and explicitly documented representation used throughout the engine, i.e. counterclockwise and in radians. ## Representation The mathematical formula for rotating a 2D vector is the following: ``` new_x = x * cos - y * sin new_y = x * sin + y * cos ``` Here, `sin` and `cos` are the sine and cosine of the rotation angle. Computing these every time when a vector needs to be rotated can be expensive, so the rotation shouldn't be just an `f32` angle. Instead, it is often more efficient to represent the rotation using the sine and cosine of the angle instead of storing the angle itself. This can be freely passed around and reused without unnecessary computations. The two options are either a 2x2 rotation matrix or a unit complex number where the cosine is the real part and the sine is the imaginary part. These are equivalent for the most part, but the unit complex representation is a bit more memory efficient (two `f32`s instead of four), so I chose that. This is like Nalgebra's [`UnitComplex`](https://docs.rs/nalgebra/latest/nalgebra/geometry/type.UnitComplex.html) type, which can be used for the [`Rotation2`](https://docs.rs/nalgebra/latest/nalgebra/geometry/type.Rotation2.html) type. ## Implementation Add a `Rotation2d` type represented as a unit complex number: ```rust /// A counterclockwise 2D rotation in radians. /// /// The rotation angle is wrapped to be within the `]-pi, pi]` range. pub struct Rotation2d { /// The cosine of the rotation angle in radians. /// /// This is the real part of the unit complex number representing the rotation. pub cos: f32, /// The sine of the rotation angle in radians. /// /// This is the imaginary part of the unit complex number representing the rotation. pub sin: f32, } ``` Using it is similar to using `Quat`, but in 2D: ```rust let rotation = Rotation2d::radians(PI / 2.0); // Rotate vector (also works on Direction2d!) assert_eq!(rotation * Vec2::X, Vec2::Y); // Get angle as degrees assert_eq!(rotation.as_degrees(), 90.0); // Getting sin and cos is free let (sin, cos) = rotation.sin_cos(); // "Subtract" rotations let rotation2 = Rotation2d::FRAC_PI_4; // there are constants! let diff = rotation * rotation2.inverse(); assert_eq!(diff.as_radians(), PI / 4.0); // This is equivalent to the above assert_eq!(rotation2.angle_between(rotation), PI / 4.0); // Lerp let rotation1 = Rotation2d::IDENTITY; let rotation2 = Rotation2d::FRAC_PI_2; let result = rotation1.lerp(rotation2, 0.5); assert_eq!(result.as_radians(), std::f32::consts::FRAC_PI_4); // Slerp let rotation1 = Rotation2d::FRAC_PI_4); let rotation2 = Rotation2d::degrees(-180.0); // we can use degrees too! let result = rotation1.slerp(rotation2, 1.0 / 3.0); assert_eq!(result.as_radians(), std::f32::consts::FRAC_PI_2); ``` There's also a `From<f32>` implementation for `Rotation2d`, which means that methods can still accept radians as floats if the argument uses `impl Into<Rotation2d>`. This means that adding `Rotation2d` shouldn't even be a breaking change. --- ## Changelog - Added `Rotation2d` - Bounding volume methods now take an `impl Into<Rotation2d>` - Gizmo methods with rotation now take an `impl Into<Rotation2d>` ## Future use cases - Collision detection (a type like this is quite essential considering how common vector rotations are) - `Transform` helpers (e.g. return a 2D rotation about the Z axis from a `Transform`) - The rotation used for `Transform2d` (#8268) - More gizmos, maybe meshes... everything in 2D that uses rotation --------- Co-authored-by: Tristan Guichaoua <33934311+tguichaoua@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Robert Walter <robwalter96@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: IQuick 143 <IQuick143cz@gmail.com>
