That one is not that complicated if you don't think about the math. It's basically just if we interpret the float as int and add a magic number we have a good estimation.

From what I remember at least, it's been a little while since I implemented it.

IIRC also relying on how floating-point is basically scientific notation and the most-significant bits are the exponent.

And most importantly, relying on how a sloppy answer works just fine. The most important skill in game development is cheating.

Makes me feel better about my own game dev attempts lmao.

I was more thinking of the comments which are pretty much exactly what you said ("incomprehensible bit hacks" followed by "what the FUCK?")
