Math.ping_pong

Math.ping_pong(t, len) -> int

Maps an ever-increasing counter t to a value that rises from 0 to len and back, bouncing forever — the triangle wave to Math.wrap's sawtooth. Feed it a frame counter to drive a patrol, a pulsing highlight, or a back-and-forth sweep without tracking direction yourself.

Example

program Demo {
  handler Step phase Update {
    let phase = Math.ping_pong(frame, 30)
  }
}
