Question on setting velocity in Bouncy Circles example

vvvv gamma question

Hello! If you open Bouncy Circles example from Help Browser, you’d notice that FrameDifference alone is being used to set the velocity.

I was expecting that I would have to divide FrameDifference by TimeDifference to get the velocity value:

Am I assuming something wrong here?

Hi!

This basic example works in a frame-based fashion. It ignores the notion of time. Thus the term Velocity is a bit misleading.

If you feel like playing: try a MainLoop node and set it to 1000fps. Then disable the VSync on the renderer. The animation now is very short as many more frames are calculated in a second.
