64 bit is the most compatative

64bit is so good
I'd use integer instead of a float.

It is generally a good idea to use the smallest data type that can accurately represent the values you are working with. Using larger data types can lead to increased memory usage and potentially slower performance, especially if you are working with a large number of values. In the case of floating-point numbers, it is generally recommended to use the double data type, which is a 64-bit floating-point number, instead of float, which is only 32 bits. This is because double has a higher precision and can represent a wider range of values than float.
In the case of integers, using a 64-bit integer (int64_t) will definitely use more memory than a 32-bit integer (int32_t), but it will also be able to represent a much larger range of values. The actual performance impact will depend on the specific operations you are performing and the hardware you are running on. If you are not seeing any noticeable performance issues, then it is probably not a problem to use 64-bit integers. However, if you are concerned about performance, you may want to consider profiling your code to see if using 64-bit integers is causing any bottlenecks.

I don’t know of any games that are truly infinite (that are not set in space). E.g. Minecraft will in theory generate up to 60 million meters for you, which will take forever to traverse if you tried. It is just safer to put an upper-bound, and it is not a practical limitation.

i agree with this, no use in racking ur brains up just use 64bit integer
Sssshhhh

It's generally a good idea to use the most appropriate data type for the task at hand. In some cases, using 64-bit integers may be more appropriate than using floating point numbers, particularly when working with large integers or when you need a high degree of precision.
One potential downside to using 64-bit integers is that they take up more memory and may require more processing power than smaller data types like 32-bit integers or floats. This could potentially lead to a performance impact, particularly if you are working with large datasets or if you are performing a lot of mathematical operations on the integers.
That being said, the performance impact of using 64-bit integers may not be significant in many cases. In order to determine whether using 64-bit integers is causing any performance issues in your game, you may want to consider profiling your game to identify any bottlenecks or areas for optimization.

i dont think there is alot of people now using 32 just use the 64 its much better and faster

64 bits is too much I don't think so
