Move objects by decimal points

A feature I’d like to see in hopscotch is:
The ability to move objects by decimal points
You can technically already do this, but as seen in this project, the object “moves” by half a decimal each half second but doesn’t actually change its location/variable until the next whole number.

This would be a handy feature for minuscule movements, as there’s a fine cap on just how slow something can go. This caused problems in my space golf game with the star background parallax.

Cool idea! fyi, you can do this via awesome_e’s web builder by changing the stage size which therefore allows for more precise movements

Yeah, but you’re still changing the scenes size, which can cause problems and force you to resize all the objects, among other things

Great idea!Never thought of this

Awesome thought, but it should also pertain to other things besides movement, like when drawing trails and the width of trails.

@Temm how do you do this bullet thing ima look at the code but would like and explanation from the one who originally made it

Technically that is incorrect. The Position traits just return rounded numbers to when you look at the player code. The partition itself can be in decimals, though I do wish there was some more freedom with that

Huh, I was unaware.

Yeah, it’s still very frustrating though

Yeah, totally agree.

And just for example’s sake, the reason that repeating set position (x+0.4, y) doesn’t work is because the x position gets set from say 250 to 250.4, then the next time it’s run, the starting x returns the round(250), so it really just loops setting the x to 250.4

I think the object actually moves… the text just doesn’t show the decimal points…

This is an amazing idea.
