A simple implementation of cardinal and ordinal directions, as the canonical direction crate bakes in some notions of coordinates that seem better separated to allow for different grid systems.

Endgame Direction

The endgame_direction crate provides an implementation of cardinal and ordinal directions. It can be used independently of the rest of the Endgame library.

Part of the motivation for creating this crate was that the canonical direction crate bakes in some a coordinates, while the Endgame library provides it own support for grid coordinate systems.

Future work

• It could make sense to extend the set of directions to include the secondary intercardinal directions (West-northwest, etc.). The primary use case for this currently would be to support all possible vertex directions on a triangular grid in endgame_grid.
• It might make sense to add localized text for the directions names.
