This library offers a datum to iteratively divide a plane horizontally and vertically until sections are small enough to deal with. This process can be completed manually or with procs for random selection. Merging sections back together is also possible.

This is a limited form of Binary Space Partitioning. Limits include:
  • All partitions are rectangles.
  • All coordinates are based on positive integers. (Similar to /atom locs.)


Differences from my obsolete BSP 2D library include:
  • Active maintenance, bug fixes and performance improvements.
  • More useful group splitting options.
  • The option of horizontal and/or vertical edge wrapping.
  • The ability to toggle corner neighbors with a single proc instead of setting a parameter in every related call.
  • Many more coordinate detection options.
