@kamdroid said in RobinsonX (Game ChangeLogs):
@robinsonx How smooth does the game run on your device?
I'm getting pretty bad lag and now sound stutters. Bit conserened about hyperPad's performance.What iPad are you running, what OS, and are you jailbroken?
We test hyperPad on iPads as old as the iPad 2. Obviously the iPad 2 won't be as fast as the latest iPads, but in our test it typically handles most smaller to medium projects decently well. It heavily depends on what you're doing as well. Large graphics, graphics with a lot of empty space/transparency, complicated logic (loops, spawning, etc.) lots of objects, and particles will all cause performance issues and should be used sparingly.
The graphics engine is not that bad, but it expects users to take some care in how they create their projects. Yes, we could implement features that handle a lot of stuff for you, but then it sacrifices power and you wouldn't be able to create awesome projects like this.

@murtaza iPad Air 2, iOS 12.1.1, unjailbroken
EDIT: RobinsonX released an optimisation update, and it's WAY smoother, only very minor lag now compared to before.
-
@Murtaza I am running iOS version 12.3.1 on iPad 5th generation, not jail broken.
@Kamdroid The global settings is what caused most of the lag, instead of having 120Hz and 10 iterations, I would use 60Hz and 1 iteration. Some other lag is from odd sources..
When you're touching or holding on the screen and the joystick(s), sometimes there's some stuttering... I know it's the While Touching and the Joystick Analog (behaviors that have constant outputs) that is causing the lag and I don't know how I can fix that...
I can just pray that it just gets fixed... 😬
-
Some other lag is from multiplayer, but it's not very big.
-
@robinsonx Thanks for laggy chaos fun 😆
It got so laggy that my chat wasn't going through, and then particles managed to stick around once you left
-
@Kamdroid Oh, I can explain the lingering white beams. I was playing with new weapons that weren't released yet, so your game doesn't know what bullet I'm shooting. Yes, that's what blank bullets look like! White, and they don't fade away until they get recycled.
-
Curious? This is one of the upcoming new weapons coming in the next update. -
The game nows supports different aspect ratios! (Showcasing iPhone X)
This is specifically for gameplay, the title screens and other menus will need to be adjusted.
You can see the top part of the screen is cut off.
(Showcasing iPhone X again) -
Sign Up and Log In Screen, fixed!
Different aspect ratios work on it, but still need to fix the title screen... 😬
-
How to make someone hyped:
Also, Compatibility Update coming soon!
-
I can’t login, always says invalid credentials. Is this a bug, or maybe I’m remembering my password wrong. Any way to reset it? Would be cool to able to link it to email so I could do this
-
@Kamdroid I could change your password (or just send you it) or reset your account. (Just don't say your credientials here!) message me on direct message and I'll see what I can do.
So far everything is working for me and I tested on some of my other alternative accounts and it works.
-
Man, I want raycasting...
Instead of having bullets being physical objects, we could just use raycasting. Just better than having to shoot physical objects, it's less performance-heavy...
I'm working towards having smoother and less buggy gameplay.
-
I will be working on rooms.
You can create a room or join one, players will have the opportunity to set the room's privacy to public or private and players can customize many parameters such as gravity, allowed guns, gamemodes, etc. but players will only gain XP from unchanged and defaulted rooms. (Rooms that are public and have normal gameplay)
-
Rooms are now live. Try it out. Let me know if there are any bugs with anything!
-
Working on room customization.
-
Taking a break from BotPixel, phew!
Stuff's hard to make.I'm collaborating with @BD-Studios to create an another multiplayer game, it involves basketball and lots of jumping.
Here's a screenshot of a test of it.
-
The game is LIVE! You can duel with other players and outplay your opponents! Can you make a swish?
-
Back to working on BotPixel!
Will be working on fixing performance in the next update or so, many people are experiencing performance issues, especially from the joysticks.
Don't worry, I fixed it! Update will be coming soon.
People are also experiencing sound issues where sound would die out or get staticky in certain cases. Could be a hyperPad thing, but I'm reworking on the sound effects to minimize the lag from the sound effects. (Limiting how many sound effects can play at once)
-
I know this is late... I had fun with some fireworks, Happy Fourth of July! I will add a colorful firework weapon to the arsenal for players to toy around with.
