Angle (and other such types) shouldn't have a public constructor, that completely voids the point of having the type as it's not clear what underlying unit is being passed in without reading the code. That's why we have FromDegrees and FromRadians. Angle.Sin(new Angle(1.0)) is no more clear than Math.Sin(1.0), but Angle.Sin(Angle.FromRadians(1.0)) is.

Hey! How's the progress here? :)

Yo!

Sorry, this got put on the back burner due to other stuff. To be honest not sure what state it is in. 😅

I do remember wanting to discuss some things about the design with the team. Looking at the proposals the Angle and Color proposals look pretty close, There does appear to be some obvious blank spots in the Collision proposal.

Might be worth getting some feed back from some other people. Not sure if you want to bring it to the next 3.0 meeting.

The proposals I started aren't quite there yet but I don't want to keep working on them at the moment. I have marked them as work in progress so perhaps someone else can take over.
