<Cha0zz> Cornflakes I've heard that it's better if you disable v-sync and force the v-sync on your graphics card
<Cornflakes> hm
<Cornflakes> or just scrap vsynch,
<Cha0zz> nah
<Cornflakes> never found a use for it :V
<Cha0zz> apparently it can mess up some things in the physics if it runs on >60fps
<Cornflakes> so much bad programming in there
<DWMagus> Oh, that whole framerate locking?
<Cha0zz> afk
<DWMagus> That's how you can tell a bad programmer.

<DWMagus> There are two ways to do time loops.
<DWMagus> Framerate based and time based.
<DWMagus> Biggest rookie mistake.
<Talvieno> ^---
<Cornflakes> hey, i saw  an rookie mistake in that game that i didnt make in my glorious 20 minutes of graphics programming
<Cornflakes> at first it started up in 800x600
<Grumblesaur> It boggles my mind that going for a time-based loop isn't obvious
<Cornflakes> it scaled up my horizontal mouse speed because it was stretched
<Talvieno> yeah, really.
<Grumblesaur> Physics calculations are done with respect to time
<Grumblesaur> Why would you base it on *time*
<Grumblesaur> wouldn't*
<Talvieno> It's really just really, really lazy coding or stupid programmers.
<Cornflakes> because reasons
<Talvieno> because I want to move really really fast when I move to a faster computer! :D
<Grumblesaur> unless you could guarantee that the framerate would be the same on every computer that would be running it
* Scytale has quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
<Grumblesaur> which is impossible
<Cornflakes> maybe because it was easier to integrate with the actual graphics output
<Talvieno> Or hilarious. I saw a shareware game once that had this hilarious way of doing it. I have no idea how it managed, I guess it was CPU intensive when it was made.
<Talvieno> It spit out 60 frames in rapid succession...
<Talvieno> and then paused for the rest of the second.
<Cornflakes> lol
<Grumblesaur> turn-based framerate
<Talvieno> then another 60, and a pause.
<Talvieno> XD

<Cornflakes> sometimes i wonder about this very laptop
<Talvieno> some of the old maxis games would do really weird glitchy stuff on more powerful computers.
<Talvieno> like, in Streets of Sim City, idling cars would bounce.
<Cornflakes> how can it be that taxed with a text editor that it often misses a keypress because i was too fast
<Talvieno> until they glitched out and CTDd.

<Scytale> what's the editor?
<Talvieno> Sim Copter did something similar with superfast bouncing planes.
<Talvieno> How much did you miss, Scytale?
<Cornflakes> spyder, or basically, any input i give it
<Scytale> about 5 minutes worth
<Scytale> oh right
