On photo i have computer from scrap mechanic which i am currently working on, somehow related.

I heard the next update is coming out around the same time as half life three is

Two (there's more) ways you could represent complex numbers is as annon suggests to allocate a second number (reduce number of total bits if able.) Or to go polar and have magnitude and rotation between +, -, i, -i.
