CYCLE_RUBBER 1 # niceness when hitting a wall

Code: Select all

CYCLE_RUBBER 1 # value that influences how long you die after hitting a wall

hehe i feel inclined to make a third version:

Code: Select all

CYCLE_RUBBER 1 # variable used in determining how long you can hit a wall before dying

it functions as a kind of fender doesn't it? the bigger the value the bigger the fender (?)

They all would work, and excellent point iceman.

rubber = cycle_rubber + ping * cycle_ping_rubber

or something very similar ie

if the room rubber is set to 3 and your ping is .1 s (100 ms) and cycle_ping_rubber is set to 5 then

rubber to work with is 3 + .5 = 3.5

someone like me in aus will have .3 s ping and

rubber to work with is 3 + 1.5 = 4.5
