Vector used for 2D math using floating point coordinates.
2-element structure that can be used to represent positions in 2D space or any other pair of numeric values.
It uses floating-point coordinates. See [Vector2i] for its integer counterpart.
[b]Note:[/b] In a boolean context, a Vector2 will evaluate to [code]false[/code] if it's equal to [code]Vector2(0, 0)[/code]. Otherwise, a Vector2 will always evaluate to [code]true[/code].

This method runs faster than [method distance_to], so prefer it if you need to compare vectors or need the squared distance for some formula.
Returns the distance between this vector and [param to].
Returns the dot product of this vector and [param with]. This can be used to compare the angle between two vectors. For example, this can be used to determine whether an enemy is facing the player.
The dot product will be [code]0[/code] for a straight angle (90 degrees), greater than 0 for angles narrower than 90 degrees and lower than 0 for angles wider than 90 degrees.
When using unit (normalized) vectors, the result will always be between [code]-1.0[/code] (180 degree angle) when the vectors are facing opposite directions, and [code]1.0[/code] (0 degree angle) when the vectors are aligned.
