- Open your Unity project.
- In the top menu, select "Window" > "Package Manager".
- Click on the "+" button in the top-left corner of the Package Manager window.
- Select "Add package from git URL...".
- Enter the following URL: https://github.com/iShapeUnity/FixFloat.git
- Click the "Add" button.
- Wait for the package to be imported.
- In your C# scripts, add the following using statement to access the library:
using iShape.FixFloat;The `FixNumber` class uses fixed-point arithmetic to perform calculations with a high degree of precision and determinism. It supports numbers in the range 2^21 - 1 to -2^21 + 1 with a precision of 1/1024, and is most suitable for the range 10,000,000 to -10,000,000 with a precision of 0.01.
Fixed-point numbers are represented using a fixed number of bits for the fractional part. In this implementation, the number of bits representing the fractional part of the fixed-point number is 10, which allows for a precision of 1/1024 or approximately 0.001.
Here are some examples of fixed-point number representation:
- 1 / 1024 ≈ 0.001 (represented as 1)
- 256 / 1024 = 0.25 (represented as 256)
- 1024 / 1024 = 1 (represented as 1024)
- (1024 + 512) / 1024 = 1.5 (represented as 1536)
- (2048 + 256) / 1024 = 2.25 (represented as 2304)
By using the `FixNumber` class, you can perform arithmetic operations using long values while maintaining the precision of floating-point numbers, ensuring deterministic behavior across different platforms and devices.
The `FixNumber` class represents a fixed-point number using a `long` as the underlying storage, allowing deterministic arithmetic operations. Use `FixNumber` for calculations instead of `float` or `double` when deterministic behavior is required. `FixNumber` provides a way to perform arithmetic operations with `long` values while maintaining the precision of floating-point numbers.
long a = 3.14f.ToFix();
long b = 2.0f.ToFix();
long result = a.Mul(b);
float resultAsFloat = result.ToFloat();The `FixVec` struct represents a 2D fixed-point vector, providing various utility methods and operators for vector operations. Use `FixVec` for 2D geometric calculations when deterministic behavior is required.
FixVec vec1 = new FixVec(1.0f.ToFix(), 2.0f.ToFix());
FixVec vec2 = new FixVec(3.0f.ToFix(), 4.0f.ToFix());
FixVec sum = vec1 + vec2;
FixVec difference = vec1 - vec2;The `FixAngle` class provides various utility methods for working with fixed-point angles, including trigonometric functions and angle conversion.
long angle = (Mathf.PI / 2).ToFix().RadToFixAngle();
long sin = angle.Sin();
long cos = angle.Cos();This library is designed to be compatible with Unity and the Burst Compiler, enabling high-performance arithmetic and geometric operations in Unity projects that utilize the job system and Burst.
