why using a macro for this? it looks weird to me 🤔 (the ONE one)

yeah i thought i would need to do the function twice and forgot

it would be nice if we're implementing more optimisation stuff like this, also you should change the target of the PR to should I make dev the default branch and rename master to something like "release"? idk if this would break something (I'll probably do it after all opened PRs targeting master are merged if everyone agrees on that idea) |

should be good for testing |

I already said this on discord but I'm writing it here just for history purposes, the camera is acting weird so I'll wait until this is fixed |

this function isn't declared (just add #include "functions.h") and it returns a f32, not s16, I feel like we should add a cast here (same comment for coss for the cast)

so ive been looking into this |
this uses Kaze Emuar's "folded polynomial" sine and cosine functions. it works by calculating a small section of the polynomial and mirrors it for the rest. this not only saves ram but seems faster than the lookup table.
Edit: forgot to mention this vastly improves animation quality.
