V is a vector 2d library that simplifies/boosts geom in robocoding.

It's common for robocoders to write code like this:

Point2D.Double project(Point2D.Double point, double angle, double distance) {
  return new Point2D.Double(point.getX() + distance * Math.sin(angle), point.getY() + distance * Math.cos(angle));
}

Point2D.Double pos = ...;

for (...) {
  pos = project(pos, heading, velocity);
}

However, this is slow.

With V, you have code like this

final V pos = new V(...);

for (...) {
  pos.project_(heading, velocity); // trailing dash means inplace
}

which is much faster beacuse it can be replaced with scalar internally (in JVM), which means your code actually have the performance of this:

double x = ...;
double y = ...; // 

for (...) {
  double nextX = ...; // some fast math
  double nextY = ...; // some fast math

  x = nextX;
  y = nextY;
}
