Hi cbscribe.

How is 0.033 computed?

Code snippet

`Acceleration in pixels/sec/sec. var gravity = Vector2(0, 120)

Acceleration in pixels/frame/frame. var gravity_frame = Vector2(0, .033) `

Thank you.

How is 0.033 computed?

Because this example is using 120 pix/sec/sec for gravity, the per-frame acceleration is going to be 120 * (1/60) * (1/60) = 0.033. This is so that you can see the difference by setting use_delta and changing the FPS.

How were you able to display an fps counter and a toggle for delta?
