StartSlow

    Arguments:
        1) real: slowTarget
        2) real: fpsValue

Creates a pseudo slow effect by forcing Danmakufu to run at the specified FPS value.

There is currently only one target available, TARGET_ALL.
Use StopSlow to stop this effect.

StopSlow

    Arguments:
        1) real: slowTarget

Removes the pseudo slow from StartSlow, and restores Danmakufu to normal FPS.

There is currently only one target available, TARGET_ALL.

IsIntersected_Line_Circle

    Arguments:
        1) real: startX
        2) real: startY
        3) real: endX
        4) real: endY
        5) real: width
        6) real: xCoord
        7) real: yCoord
        8) real: radius
    Return Type:
        bool

Checks if the given line with given width is colliding with the given circle of given radius.
Returns true if there is a collision; if there is no collision, it returns false.

IsIntersected_Obj_Obj

    Arguments:
        1) real: objID1
        2) real: objID2
    Return Type:
        bool

Checks if the given objects are colliding with each other.
Returns true if there is a collision; if there is no collision, it returns false.

Note: This function is currently only available on bullet and laser objects.

GetObjectDistance

    Arguments:
        1) real: objID1
        2) real: objID2
    Return Type:
        real array

Returns the distance between the two objects.

If one of the objects' ID is invalid, -1 will be returned.

GetObject2dPosition

    Arguments:
        1) real: objID
    Return Type:
        real array

Returns the 2D coordinates of a 3D object projected onto the 2D window.

The array is returned as [X, Y].

Get2dPosition

    Arguments:
        1) real: x
        2) real: y
        3) real: z
    Return Type:
        real array

Returns the 2D coordinates of the given 3D coordinates projected onto the 2D window.

The array is returned as [X, Y].

erase

    Arguments:
        1) any array: arr
        2) real: index
    Return Type:
        any array

Returns a new array with the element at the given index in the provided array removed.

length

    Arguments:
        1) any array: arr
    Return Type:
        real

Returns the size of an array.

concatenate

    Arguments:
        1) any array: arr1
        2) any array: arr2
    Return Type:
        any array

Concatenates the two provided arrays (of same type) and returns the new array.

Function version of ~.
Works on strings, as they are character arrays.

slice

    Arguments:
        1) any array: arr
        2) real: start
        3) real: end
    Return Type:
        any array

Cuts out a specific portion of an array.

Function version of array[start..end]. Sliced portion includes start but not end.

CreateArray

    Arguments:
        1) real or any: array length or element1
        2) any: ... (varargs elements)
    Return Type:
        any array

Creates an array of the specified length if argument count is 1, otherwise create an array with the given elements.

Note: This function has a variable number of arguments.

table_insert

    Arguments:
        1) table: table
        2) string: key
        3) any: value
    Return Type:
        any array

Inserts the given key value pair into the given table.

call_func

    Arguments:
        1) string: functionName
        2) any vargs: functionArgs

Calls the given function or task with the given args.

The called function will not be able to return any values.
Note: Do not use with subroutines (sub)

not

    Arguments:
        1) any array: arr
    Return Type:
        real

Returns the logical negation of the provided boolean expression.

Function version of !.

PickValue

    Arguments:
        1) real: index
        2) any varargs: args
    Return Type:
        real

Returns the value at the given argument index.
Can pass as many values as needed.

Note: This function will raise an error if the index is out of bounds.

Interpolate

    Arguments:
        1) real const: interpolationType
        2) real: startValue
        3) real: endValue
