Define Details
angle2dir
Given an angle, matches it to the closest direction and returns it.
get_step_rand_cardinal
Returns a tile in a random cardinal direction
get_step_truly_rand
BYOND's default get_step_rand() is not actually uniformly random (heavily biased towards dir). This is a replacement that is actually uniformly random.
is_cardinal
Returns true if a direction is cardinal
turn_needed
Calculates the angle you need to pass to the turn proc to get dir_to from dir_from turn(dir, turn_needed(dir, dir_to)) = dir_to
