SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides comprehensive documentation and usage examples for Bestow's built-in mathematical and spatial types, enabling precise control over game development elements.

Core Features & Use Cases

Vector Operations: Utilize Vec2, Vec3, and Vec4 for 2D and 3D positional data, direction, and scaling.
Rotations & Transformations: Employ Quaternions (Quat) for 3D rotations and Mat4 for matrix transformations, including translation, rotation, and scaling (TRS).
Spatial Calculations: Work with AABB3D for bounding boxes and Ray3D for raycasting, essential for physics and collision detection.
Color Manipulation: Use the Color type for managing RGBA values.
Use Case: When implementing character movement, you'll use Vec3 for position, Quat for rotation, and potentially AABB3D for collision detection.

Quick Start
