All rights reserved. ----------------------------------------------------------------- The libcoyotl class collection defies clear categorization; in essence, these are tool that I've found useful in a variety of applications. Rather than have several "little" libraries lying about, I decided to create a single "catch all" library. Among the algorithms included: - A polymorphic collections of the best psuedorandom number generators, including the Mersenne Twister and Marsaglia's favorites. - Utilities for working with real numbers, including additional functions for trigonometry, least common multiple, greatest common denominator, rounding, and other purposes. - A simple cross-platform command-line parser. - A framework for generating random rectangular mazes. - A template for fixed-point math based on different integer sizes and decimal point locations. - Templatized sorting utilities (designed before Std. C++'s <algorithms>, but still useful) - Validation tools for "Design by Contract" programming. Complete API documentation can be generated with a simple "make docs" command. The test subdirectory contains a basic validation and test suite; you can review this code to see how things work.
