decrease snake speed, because it is too fast #64

the snake is too fast for me. I think it should be slower.

I agree ! For example when the apples are on the edges of the screen it is basically impossible to collect them without dying.

+0.002 seconds don't make much of a difference. How about 0.125 seconds, that's a nice speed.

Joshix-1 commented 2 years ago

I think the difference is noticable and improves the expierience a lot

By 60 FPS (0.0166 sec). Your change makes 4 frames to 4 frames (to the next move). By 144 FPS (0.0069 sec). Your change makes 10 frames to 10 frames. The noticeable change, is most likely a placebo.

Wait, the speed shouldn't be different with FPS right ? That's what delta is for.

Yes. Frames play a bigger role, because its tick based and not continuous movement. The change is so small, that its only changes the overflow rate.

Overflow rate is maybe the wrong term. Each move (4 frames by 60 fps) there is a bit more/less time in the bucket, and on some point it needs one frame less/more to get full.

I'm all for a slower snake, its just to small of a change to make a difference.
