Caught me. English isn't my first language (I'm from Vietnam), so I’ve been using tools to help me fix my grammar because I didn't want to sound like a 2005 spam email.
I guess I over-polished it and ended up sounding like a 'clanker' anyway lol. Just a real guy trying to share a project without looking like a total idiot. I'll stick to my actual broken English from now on. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Wow, calling me a clanker... now I actually feel offended 💀:/
That’s a beautiful way to put it. I definitely went from "how do I move a polygon" to "wait, why does this feel like it has weight?" in about 10 lines of code. It’s wild how much of the physical world is just hidden in a simple $v += g$ loop. Definitely an "ah hah!" moment I won't forget. 〒▽〒
It's exactly as awkward as it looks, lol. Basically, I’m a solo dev who is way better at C# than I am at "The Internet". I kept getting my posts auto-deleted for "Advertising" rules on my first account, and in my panic, I thought the account itself as "shadowbanned" or something. So I kept making new ones trying to find a community where the project actually "fit" without getting nuked. Total amateur move—I realized too late that it just makes me look like a bot farm. I'm nuking the other accounts and sticking to this one now!
Haha, fair point! I guess I spent too much time looking at the code and thinking "this feels too simple to work". But hey, if it hits the bottom of the screen and satisfies the VelocityY math, it’s a feature, not a bug. Glad to see another dev who appreciates the simple approach.
Phew! Glad I haven't offended the ghost of Isaac Newton. I half-expected someone to tell me I needed a full-blown physics engine just to drop some glass polygons on the taskbar.
You caught me. Honestly, I'm just a solo dev who is incredibly bad at 'marketing.' I kept getting my posts deleted on other accounts because I didn't understand the 'No Ad' rules, so I kept trying to find a community that actually liked the project. I realize now that having multiple accounts looks super sketchy—I’m deleting the others and just keeping this one. I really just wanted to share the user32.dll hack I was proud of. My bad!
Incremental penalties are the way! I see you’re also a student of the 'Hostile UX' school of design. Shaking the window is basically the ultimate progression of button spam—once you exceed the velocity threshold, the UI simply quits on you. ψ(｀∇´)ψ
Honestly, I have no idea what you are thinking right now. It sounds like the more I try to explain, the more I'm getting accused of. The purpose of this post is to be funny, yes. But also to share my technical project while still using the correct terminology to create a clear communication and understanding of both the creator and the viewers (yes, I spent a lot of time thinking if using this 'word' is correct or not because English is not my native language! But it seems like those efforts backfired on me). I do not offend you or anything, but I would prefer any other positive words or any coding question, so that others can not just laugh, but learn new things too, instead of keeping focus on this topic.
