vector_length(3alleg4)

💖 vector_length — bestie, it's math time ✨

okay so you're in the Allegro game programming library, and you need to know how long a vector is. That's it. That's the whole page. And honestly? Iconic. 🎀

This is the 3alleg4 manual, so pull up a chair (or a beanbag, whatever your setup is 🦋) and let's get into it.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro.h>

fixed vector_length(fixed x, fixed y, fixed z);

float vector_length_f(float x, float y, float z);

Two functions, two vibes: one for the fixed girlies, one for the float girlies. Pick your fighter. 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Calculates the length of the vector (x, y, z), using that good 'ole Pythagoras theorem. 📐✨

Like… yes bestie, the triangle guy. He came through. The length of the vector (x, y, z) — that's the distance from the origin all the way out to your point, no cap. 🌈

Not me being emotionally attached to a square root. 😭 It's giving main character energy fr fr.
