This is a math and input lib made, or being made, to work with gear calculation and keyboard control (or mouse too! (shift simular to that of a real car)).
Right now, it works fully for what is has (thus why I'm releasing it as lib form), You can quickly:
-Assign gear ratios that automaticaly set to the proper index..
-Translate the gear index values to gear names (eg: R-N-1-2-3-4-etc...)..
-Return speed from gear ratios, rpm, and tire diameter in MPH or Km/h..
-Sync mouse to act like a gear shifer (requires screens min to be 400x400)..
-Shift gears with keys easily..
-And activate a clutch option for semi-full manual controls..
This is 1 of 3 libs I'm messing with, this one is a lil more complete than the others.... For additions to this one later, I might add:
- RPM drops/jumps calcs for when shifting up or down
- Flywheel HP to Wheel HP (given Ratios, tire diameter, etc)
... and however many more I dig up.... ;)

C&C and or bug issues, or ideas that might be usefull additions to this lib, are welcome.... =) ... Enjoy!
PS: Mouse sync can only use 4 or 5 speed gearing, if it's a cool idea, I might add up to 6 speeds and so on.... ;) ....
PPS: It's in the WIPs forum here, I might add to it, etc.... But so far, I hope it's enough for good use! ;)
