Rename `Velocity` to `Speed`
kemenaran opened this issue · 5 comments
Most speed-related variables are named Speed-Something – but some still use the outdated Velocity name.
We should rename variables and comments so that “speed” is used everywhere.
I disagree.
I would say "velocity" is something actual, like, if you are walking to the right, link's velocity is 1 pixel per frame. But "speed" is something constant/config, even if you are standing still, link's speed while walking right is 1 pixel per frame. (atleast, that is how I always use velocity vs speed)
Hmm, interesting. Like speed is a fixed attribute of an entity (how fast can it move?), and velocity is “how fast does it moves right now”?
In that case making the variables consistent probably means renaming them to Velocity rather than Speed.

Yes, that's how I usually use it. But other people will most likely disagree, we are on the internet after all :D
