Pixels per Second
Part of the Nodes and Scenes section of Coddy's Godot journey. Lesson 9 of 27.
With delta, the number in front of it is a speed in pixels per second. A walk is about 150 pixels a second, a dash about 500.
To cross a distance in a set time, divide the distance by the time:
# 400 pixels in 2 seconds is 200 pixels a second
position.x += 200 * deltaThe sign picks the direction. += moves right on x and down on y. -= moves left on x and up on y.
Challenge
EasyThe robot starts at x = 320. Make it reach x = 20 in 2 seconds, at a steady speed. Work out the speed first.
