Leadwerks tutorial - Equal game speeds

[AggrorJorn]

This video tutorial explains how to make use of the AppSpeed command. This affects many subjects such as equal rotation and position speeds, animation speed, fire rates etc.

 

A thank you to Lumooja for explaining this to me in the first place.

Hehe, I had a lot of fun watching this video tutorial knowing the backgrounds. Look who's talking

The tutorial is now accurate though.

Sometimes you need also to curve the AppSpeed(), but that is not always needed, it was needed in some specific version though.

Should have mentioned a thank you in the video. it s in the first post now.

Very usefull tut, exept I struggled to read the code. Maybe its my eyesight.

[AggrorJorn]

Could you explain which part that was? I can could change the zooming in and out a litlle.

 

Note that the only code I truelly explained was the AppSpeed() command. If I would explain the other code as well the tutorial would become a lot longer.

[cassius]

A slightly bigger ont would help.

[AggrorJorn]

Okay I will use larger font next time. Thx for the feedback.

If looking from youtube, its okay with code size, i think.

 

On the other hand, it would be nice if you would add CubeSpeed parameter, so we would be able to see speed of cube before using AppSpeed in different resolutions, and after.

Good feedback vetal thx,

 

I am rendering a new video tutorial which will be uploaded in a couple of minutes.

 

Keep the ideas for other shorties comming!!

 

*Edit

 

new version uploaded

Also when you talked about fw:update and you said we should use in the loop the "UpdateTime" command when not using fw, you could write it there. the impact would be bigger

 

now, is this technique used also in moving the mouse? because as i said earlier here http://leadwerks.com/werkspace/index.php?/topic/3000-equal-game-speed/page__pid__27733#entry27733 , i have this lines:

 

            //rotation by mouse
           int mx = Leadwerks.Graphics.Width / 2;
           int my = Leadwerks.Graphics.Height / 2;
           dx = Leadwerks.Math.Curve((Leadwerks.Mouse.X - mx) / 4, dx, (float)(3 / Timing.Time));
           dy = Leadwerks.Math.Curve((Leadwerks.Mouse.Y - my) / 4, dy, (float)(3 / Timing.Time));

 

and the move is not too smooth like in C++

 

and if I try to to use 0.2 * Timing.Time, I only have a blank screen...
