--- title: Different Measures of Distance tags: geometry description: A few different ways of calculating distance in noncontinuous 2d spaces --- How far is it from one place to another? How does that change if you're on a flat plane? What if that plane has discrete distances (like a checkerboard, or Civ map)? ### Euclidean Distance This is the go-to of distance calculations. ### Manhattan Distance ### Civ Distance ### D&D Distance This is a bit more complex.
