4D vector design (x, y, z, w)

[bvssvni]

Dyon uses vectors in 4D to describe points in 2D, 3D and 4D.

(1, 2, 3, 4)
(1, 2, 3) // `w` is 0
(1, 2) // `z` is 0, `w` is 0

At least two arguments must be specified. Arguments must be numbers.

Operators for vec4:

• Addition (+) and multiplication (*) is per-component for two vectors
• Scalar product (*) and scalar division (/) allowed on both sides and is per-component
• Dot product (·/*.)
• Cross product (⨯/x) ignores w component
• Norm/length of vector |v|

The precision is f32. Thumb rule: Whenever you do calculations with vectors, expect f32 precision unless the algorithms are carefully analyzed.

This is designed for:

• Easier 2D and 3D programming
