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.
