You're right, struct isn't the right word - "value" is probably more
accurate.
value Color
{
public $r = 1.0;
public $g = 1.0;
public $b = 1.0;
public function __construct($r, $g, $b)
{
$this->r = $r;
$this->g = $g;
$this->b = $b;
}
public function mix(Color $other, $amount)
{
$this->r = $other->r * $amount + $this->r * (1 - $amount);
$this->g = $other->g * $amount + $this->g * (1 - $amount);
$this->b = $other->b * $amount + $this->b * (1 - $amount);
return $this;
}
}
$red = new Color(1, 0, 0);
$blue = new Color(0, 0, 1);
$mix = $red->mix($blue);
Okay, this would probably work - since $this actually refers to an array
inside the mix() method scope, the array would be copied as soon as the
first assignment is made... but I can see how this is starting to look
rather confusing, given that it clashes with existing syntax and how actual
objects currently work...
Probably not a good idea after all...
Though I still wish there was some better way to handle value-types...
