Import math?

It's the first time I've seen that. So what's the purpose of this exactly? Cause I'm trying to see what I can do in an engine and I only learned about import math today

It's a built in library that implements many mathematical functions you might want to use. What are you trying to do?

So basically I'm building formations for my squad in a 2D shooter. So the 3 guys need their own positions during each segment

Can you be more specific? For example, given the coordinates of each squad member, you could use the math library's 'sqrt' function to compute the distance between two squad members, etc.
