So are you magically manipulating the keys on the keyboard, magically manipulating the text on the computer screen, or just cutting out the middleman entirely and magically making words appear on a sheet of paper?

Heehee.  It's funny because the fastest method of doing that actually uses a magic number.

Princess Alice

I'm not convinced that math isn't an advanced form of dark magic to begin with, so...

Bee

float Q_rsqrt( float number )
{
	long i;
	float x2, y;
	const float threehalfs = 1.5F;
 
	x2 = number * 0.5F;
	y  = number;
	i  = * ( long * ) &y;                       // evil floating point bit level hacking
	i  = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );               // what the fuck?
	y  = * ( float * ) &i;
	y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 1st iteration
//      y  = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );   // 2nd iteration, this can be removed
 
	return y;
}
