i tested the ext floating point type but ist's too slow for my needs.

so here is what i use as include file.

currently i use 3D vectors as array

dim a(3) as single
dim b(3) as single
dim c(3) as single
dim d as single
a(1) = 1,2,3
b(1) = 2,3,4


VecCrossAB(c,a,b) ' c = a x b
VecAdd(a,b) ' a += b
VecSub(a,b) ' a -= b
VecAddAB(c,a,b) ' c = a + b
VecSubAB(c,a,b) ' c = a - b
VecMulS(a,123.45) ' a*=scalar
VecMulABS(a,b,123.45) ' a=b*scalar
d=Length(a) ' sqr(ax*ax + ay*ay + az*az)
d=VecDistanceAB(a,b) ' d = srq((az-bz)*(az-bz) + (ay-by)*(ay-by) + (ax-bx)*(ax-bx))
d=dot(a) ' d=ax*ax + ay*ay + az*az
d=dotAB(a,B) ' d=ax*bx + ay*by + az*bz
...

happy coding
