# Objective
- Fixes#6370
- Closes#6581
## Solution
- Added the following lints to the workspace:
- `std_instead_of_core`
- `std_instead_of_alloc`
- `alloc_instead_of_core`
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [item level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Item%5C%3A)
to split all `use` statements into single items.
- Used `cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets --all-features --fix
--allow-dirty` to _attempt_ to resolve the new linting issues, and
intervened where the lint was unable to resolve the issue automatically
(usually due to needing an `extern crate alloc;` statement in a crate
root).
- Manually removed certain uses of `std` where negative feature gating
prevented `--all-features` from finding the offending uses.
- Used `cargo +nightly fmt` with [crate level use
formatting](https://rust-lang.github.io/rustfmt/?version=v1.6.0&search=#Crate%5C%3A)
to re-merge all `use` statements matching Bevy's previous styling.
- Manually fixed cases where the `fmt` tool could not re-merge `use`
statements due to conditional compilation attributes.
## Testing
- Ran CI locally
## Migration Guide
The MSRV is now 1.81. Please update to this version or higher.
## Notes
- This is a _massive_ change to try and push through, which is why I've
outlined the semi-automatic steps I used to create this PR, in case this
fails and someone else tries again in the future.
- Making this change has no impact on user code, but does mean Bevy
contributors will be warned to use `core` and `alloc` instead of `std`
where possible.
- This lint is a critical first step towards investigating `no_std`
options for Bevy.

# Objective
- `Rotation2d` is a very long name for a commonly used type.
## Solution
- Rename it to `Rot2` to match `glam`'s naming convention (e.g. `Vec2`)
I ran a poll, and `Rot2` was the favorite of the candidate names.
This is not actually a breaking change, since `Rotation2d` has not been
shipped yet.

# Objective
Fill the gap in this functionality by implementing it for `Rotation2d`.
We have this already for `Quat` in addition to the direction types.
## Solution
`bevy_math::sampling` now contains an implementation of
`Distribution<Rotation2d>` for `Standard`, along with the associated
convenience implementation `Rotation2d: FromRng`, which allows syntax
like this for creating a random rotation:
```rust
// With `FromRng`:
let rotation = Rotation2d::from_rng(rng);
// With `rand::random`:
let another_rotation: Rotation2d = random();
// With `Rng::gen`:
let yet_another_rotation: Rotation2d = rng.gen();
```
I also cleaned up the documentation a little bit, seeding the `Rng`s
instead of building them from entropy, along with adding a handful of
inline directives.
# Objective
Augment Bevy's random sampling capabilities by providing good tools for
producing random directions and rotations.
## Solution
The `rand` crate has a natural tool for providing `Distribution`s whose
output is a type that doesn't require any additional data to sample
values — namely,
[`Standard`](https://docs.rs/rand/latest/rand/distributions/struct.Standard.html).
Here, our existing `ShapeSample` implementations have been put to good
use in providing these, resulting in patterns like the following:
```rust
// Using thread-local rng
let random_direction1: Dir3 = random();
// Using an explicit rng
let random_direction2: Dir3 = rng.gen();
// Using an explicit rng coupled explicitly with Standard
let random_directions: Vec<Dir3> = rng.sample_iter(Standard).take(5).collect();
```
Furthermore, we have introduced a trait `FromRng` which provides sugar
for `rng.gen()` that is more namespace-friendly (in this author's
opinion):
```rust
let random_direction = Dir3::from_rng(rng);
```
The types this has been implemented for are `Dir2`, `Dir3`, `Dir3A`, and
`Quat`. Notably, `Quat` uses `glam`'s implementation rather than an
in-house one, and as a result, `bevy_math`'s "rand" feature now enables
that of `glam`.
---
## Changelog
- Created `standard` submodule in `sampling` to hold implementations and
other items related to the `Standard` distribution.
- "rand" feature of `bevy_math` now enables that of `glam`.
---
## Discussion
From a quick glance at `Quat`'s distribution implementation in `glam`, I
am a bit suspicious, since it is simple and doesn't match any algorithm
that I came across in my research. I will do a little more digging as a
follow-up to this and see if it's actually uniform (maybe even using
those tools I wrote — what a thrill).
As an aside, I'd also like to say that I think
[`Distribution`](https://docs.rs/rand/latest/rand/distributions/trait.Distribution.html)
is really, really good. It integrates with distributions provided
externally (e.g. in `rand` itself and its extensions) along with doing a
good job of isolating the source of randomness, so that output can be
reliably reproduced if need be. Finally, `Distribution::sample_iter` is
quite good for ergonomically acquiring lots of random values. At one
point I found myself writing traits to describe random sampling and
essentially reinvented this one. I just think it's good, and I think
it's worth centralizing around to a significant extent.
