Extension methods

Vectors are used as parameters for the above methods instead of Color objects. To help with converting between Colors and Vectors, extension methods are made available: Vector3.GetColor(), Vector4.GetColor(), Color.GetVector3(), Color.GetVector4(), Color.SetAlpha(float alpha).

Easing functions

Easing functions provide a convenient way to interpolate values smoothly over time. These functions define how the intermediate values between a start and an end point are calculated based on a time factor.

Easing functions are provided as static methods in the Ease class. To use an easing function, simply call the corresponding method and provide the required parameters:

using ca.HenrySoftware.Rage;

float startValue = 0.0f;
float endValue = 1.0f;
float time = 0.5f; // Progress of the interpolation, usually between 0 and 1

float interpolatedValue = Ease.QuadInOut(startValue, endValue, time);

Debug.Log(interpolatedValue); // Output: 0.5
