Hi Kornel,
FWIW, after all this thread I still feel that it not sufficiently clear what you propose to work on, and how do you plan to manage to apparent or actual overlap between your proposal and related projects.
So, can you TOP POST a message with summary of your proposal but with sufficient detail so potential metors can evaluate it?
Make sure to contrast that very carefully with exiting libraries and proposals, inclusing Quaternions (which already exists), Boost.SIMD, Spatial Indexes from Federico Fernandez, GTl and GLL.
One thing boost doesn't have is a fixed-size matrix class, which could be used with boost::array as a building block for a lot of the more game-specific tech involved. Seems to me a boost::matrix class (essentially a 2d boost::array) would be of reasonable scope/difficulty for a GSOC project. If there's time left over, one could investigate making optimized rotations, dot projects, reflections and the like as freestanding functions/operators in a special namespace somewhere.
And this is definitively what I'd also like to do. As it seems an important topic, I'd make it the base of my proposal. -- regards, Kornel Kisielewicz
