QuantizeRange

Remarks

A position in a level a kilometre across, to the nearest three centimetres, is sixteen bits rather than thirty-two. A normalised intensity is eight. The saving is not the point on its own — the point is that it is declared, at the field, so the precision a packet costs is a number somebody chose rather than whatever float happens to be, and MaxError says what was given up.

Encoding is a round to the nearest level, so the error is bounded by half a level and is symmetric. Values outside the range are clamped rather than wrapped: a player who walks through the wall of the declared range should stop at it in the packet, not appear at the other end of the level.

Fields and properties (6)

• public float Min

  The smallest value that can be sent exactly.

• public float Max

  The largest.

• public int Bits

  How many bits to spend, from 1 to 32.

• public uint Levels

  How many steps the range is divided into.

• public float MaxError

  The most a value can be changed by a round trip through this range.

• public bool IsValid

  Whether this range can be encoded with.

Methods (3)

• public QuantizeRange(float Min, float Max, int Bits)

  A float, sent in fewer bits than a float takes, by saying what it is a float of.

• public uint Encode(float value)

  Turns a value into the bits that will be sent.

• public float Decode(uint encoded)

  Turns received bits back into a value.
