Fixed-point pixel accurate 2D geometry with minimal approximations.

lodim #

Fast and pixel accurate fixed-point 2D geometry with minimal approximations.

CI Coverage Status Pub Package Dartdoc reference

Optimal for the following use cases:

  • 2D game development that uses tile-based or grid-based rendering.
  • Graphic rendering of pixel art or other fixed-point rasterized graphics.
  • Fixed-point geometry for performance or consistency reasons.

Features #

Use lodim to quickly work with 2D geometry in a fixed-point space:

  • Fixed-point: All values and results are always integers.
  • Fast: AOT and JIT benchmarked on the Dart VM.
  • Pixel accurate: Minimal1 ambiguity or hidden rounding errors.
  • Ergonomics: Familiar API to dart:ui (and similar) for ease of use.
  • Cross-platform: Works on all Dart platforms, including Flutter and web.

Usage #

Just add a dependency in your pubspec.yaml or run the following command:

dart pub add lodim

If you've used another 2D geometry library, such as dart:ui from Flutter, you will find lodim to be very similar. Work with similar types such as Pos (i.e. Offset) and Rect:

// Creates a (x, y) position.
final pos = Pos(10, 20);

// Creates a rectangle.
final rect = Rect.fromLTWH(0, 0, 100, 100);

Take advantage of tested and benchmarked common operations:

// Rotate a position by 135 degrees counter-clockwise.
final rotated = pos.rotate45(-3);

// Get the intersection of two rectangles.
final intersection = rect.intersect(a, b);

Use built-in algorithms for common tasks, or define your own:

// Determine the distance between two positions.
final distance = pos1.distanceTo(pos2);

// Use another algorithm to determine the distance or define your own.
final manhattan = pos1.distanceTo(pos2, using: manhattan);

// Draw a line from one position to another.
final line = pos1.lineTo(pos2);

// Use your own algorithm to draw a line.
final custom = pos1.lineTo(pos2, using: someOtherAlgorithm);

Benchmarks #

To run the benchmarks, run:

dart run benchmark/benchmark.dart

# Or, to use AOT:
dart compile exe benchmark/benchmark.dart
./benchmark/benchmark.exe

# Or, to profile using devtools:
dart run --pause-isolates-on-start --observe benchmark/benchmark.dart

In local benchmarks on a M2 Macbook Pro, compared to [baseline]2 code.

JIT:

Benchmark lodim Baseline Delta
10k allocations positions 479.8 us 362.9 us -25%
10k euclidian distance 138.3 us 153.5 us +11%
10k rotations in 45° steps 6875.8 us 13658.7 us +98%
10k lines drawn 1340049.5 - -

AOT:

Benchmark lodim Baseline Delta
10k allocations positions 342.7 us 463.9 us +35%
10k euclidian distance 139.7 us 132.7 us -5%
10k rotations in 45° steps 5858.2 us 11708.0 us +100%
10k lines drawn 1333651.0 us - -

tl;dr: lodim is faster than baseline code, using both JIT and AOT. Specializing based on fixed-point geometry allows for optimizations that are not possible with general-purpose code, such as jump-table based rotations.
