so essentially, whatever speed value you provide is "this is how far this object can move in a second"

0.8 doesn't seem right for delta....

essentially delta is the time (in seconds) between _physics_process calls. essentially, if the object's speed is 60 and _physics_process is called 60 times a second, then the object should move by 1 every function call.

what function are you using to move objects? is it move_and_slide()?

controllers aren't oem, but it came with the expansion pak, so i'd say it was a pretty good deal

I do think it's unfortunate that pretty much every modern controller is pigeonholed into being the same layout with minor changes... most platform-specific controller quirks tend to go underutilized since developers want to support as many platforms as possible

In a vacuum it's a perfectly fine button layout, you just need to design the game around it. Of course, that was a bit of a problem when the other two systems at the time used the traditional diamond layout.

with regards to the recent mario kart world update- how did it seriously never occur to nintendo that some people might prefer to play the classic three lap format online? utterly bone headed move

I *believe* Notepad++ allows for custom syntax highlighting, someone's probably already made one you can import

true. there's a couple steam games where I went out of my way to get every achievement for them. to me it's more of a "nice-to-have", not really essential

meh, frankly i'm pretty indifferent to achievements on switch. most of the time they don't really do much for me.

There's no sound and the graphics are total crap, but I'd say this was a pretty successful weekend project. Might work on it more later
