MVector3.DistanceSquared, that just gives you an integer, but it doesn't call sqrt at all
Mi can do that
MPoC was just to see if this was realistically possible
Pi managed to nerdsnipe someone in the Ryujinx Discord to add Obj-C support to ClangSharp btw
Phopefully that goes well

this is where I was discussion that a

when you start getting to integers, this swaps and what you want is more the manhattan (or taxi cab) distance
or even representing the distance as a tuple

Athis is why my generic math vectors only implement certain operations for floating point types, such as distance, and even length

PointCoordinatea lot of my reasoning for using generic math in the first place was to cut down on the number of stuff i'd need to write, i need integer vectors a lot and i simply need them to represent them as a 3-dimentional point, and its easier for me to just use a vector than create a point struct that does the same thing
for silk however I can understand why the distinction could and probably should be made

Munfortunate, but workable
Twith "extension everything", you might be able to define an implicit conversion that works like that

Myeah that'll be awesome when it comes out in 2036
TI think its in the working set for C# 13, so maybe sooner

Mooh
Ai do have a question - is there any plan for built-in integer vector/point types in system.numerics? i assume not but doesn't hurt to ask
Pwho needs it when you have System.Drawing.Point 
Alol
TI still plan on pushing through

TensorPrimitives@grifon.petre can you send over your generic math lib, just for me to look
P(this is what Silk.NET.Windowing used before Silk.NET.Maths existed)
Mno proposal yet, but i wonder if it'd be worth it to implement more methods on the Vector3<T> (like what Unity does) or just do the System.Numerics ones
TThere is a proposal up already (via xoofx, from unity) for expanding Vector2/3/4 and Vector64/128/256/512<T> with the rest of the missing IFloatingPointIeee754<T> functions

TensorPrimitiveshttps://github.com/piegfx/Warp/tree/main/src/Warp.Math matrix and quaternion have varying levels of implementation (and a generic quaternion supporting int sounds frankly stupid so i'm not even sure i'll bother supporting it), but the rest i'm pretty sure is good

Ai'm currently reworking my engine from scratch as i've changed the way i do things a bit, so this code will soon officially be MIT
