Frogs clip through the floor and into the endless void

Magnogen opened this issue · 6 comments

When placing a portal at the bottom of a world, a froggo can find itself in the endless void of eternal nothingness, acompanied only by pain, suffering and anguish - never to be seen or heard from again. The frog undergoes complete and utter inter-thermal damnation within the eternal void and its suffering will not be relieved even by means of a merciful death.

Save froggo from clipping into the barrier that seperates the comfortable life the froggo knows, loves and cherishes, from the everlasting void of nothingness and despair - for they are only to be greeted with eternal torment.

tl;dr blocks can touch the floor on the otherside of a portal, but a frog will keep going

Hi, yes I'm aware of this bug - it somehow slipped in during the final burst of coding hell when I was working on the video. It seems like some very specific things trigger it, because it works fine in other situations. Probably an annoying typo somewhere! One day I will rewrite TimePond, using what I learned from this first engine, and I'll be more careful, so frogs don't get lost in the aether!

Happy Froggo :D

Awesome! Also there are loooads of URL parameters that you can use to try the different experiments out. Such as https://www.timepond.cool/?experiment=gfling&menu=purple&portal=pastnow

can there be a list showing each type of experiment?

Sure, I could write up a list for this (maybe later today!)

Hey, I added some presets to the readme. Here are some you can try:

Simple Right Fling Fall Bump
Teleport Teleport + Simple Teleport + Right Teleport + Fling Teleport + Fall Teleport + Bump
Future Future + Simple Future + Right Future + Fling Future + Fall Future + Bump
Past Past + Simple Past + Right Past + Fling Past + Fall Past + Bump
Rewrite Rewrite + Simple Rewrite + Right Rewrite + Fling Rewrite + Fall Rewrite + Bump
Branch Branch + Simple Branch + Right Branch + Fling Branch + Fall Branch + Bump

I left some of the other presets in a broken state, (eg: Nexus) so I'll fix those at some point and add them too!
