  How is it possible to make pixel graphics without horizontal or vertical lines? I thought that was all they were.

  > Or at least lines large enough not to merge with screen pixels

  So could I theoretically double the resolution and size of the sprites, while keeping the same aesthetic? I was trying to avoid this as creating sprites that are true to size is seemingly much simpler.

  Well the issue isn't that they are lines, the issue is that they are moving. You would have to get rid of diagonal scrolling, and make sure that you're not only rounding, but snapping to integers where it wont sync.

  Changing the scale is not that big a deal, but changing the texture is a better fix imo.

  Luminosity seems pretty close.

  Its not another method if its the only method.

  The browser spec has changed. It changed well over a year ago.

  Note, your local preview may allow sound to play at the beginning if you have used the method recently.

  You would know if it worked if you tried it.

  Try using a user input to start sound.

  It's a security measure.

  Nice. No masks needed.

  Works well on layers as too.

  Yeah you really want to use seconds when timing animations.

  Kinda like tweens.

  Just had another idea for something that this would help a lot.

  So I've added the suggestion: construct3.ideas.aha.io/ideas/C3-I-1222

  Ashley is this even doable? I know it's one of those things that sounds easier than it is.

  For frame rate independent you wouldn't want dt.

  There's a setting in preferences if you want to do that.

  For frame rate dependant its (total value)*dt

  Because dt can be zero, or fps can be less than 60 etc.

  Remember dt is the time since last last tick.

  Think I'd rather go with a loop.

  Not sure what you are doing but all the behaviors have dt applied already.

  Think in terms of wanting movement to stop if frame rate goes to 0.

  Look at it as if expecting dt to be zero.

  Anything times zero is 0
