TBGE is a really badly coded game (sorry if that was harsh), causing some of those issues.

Note: I used my VERY ETHICAL .HTML to .WICK exporter to analyse the project’s code.

Everything has a Update method!

This makes EVERY SINGLE OBJECT do something regardless if:

  • Something’s close
  • Something eventful happened
  • Etc.

This gigantic amount of code being ran every tick (1/45 of a second, 0.022222222222222223 seconds) causes input lag
This amount of code in each of the 25 clips being ran every tick in just the first level is bad.

Ohh, you prob hit the blue flag, that sends you back to the level selection

Yeah, I get it that almost EVERY object in the game has an Update script, I will try to make a workaround for it soon

Alright yall, I get what you’re saying,
TBGE HAS NON-OPTIMIZED CODE LEADING TO FPS DROPS TO 8 OR LOWER.

Just chill out. I’ll optimize the game for less input delay by the third release of Demo 1.

Ah, okay thanks for pointing that out, maybe you should put text saying something like;
‘The blue flag brings you back to the beginning’
for context to avoid confusion.

VERSION 0.5.x IS OUT AND IT FIXES EVERYTHING ANYONE COULD HATE ABOUT 0.4.4!!!

The Best Game Ever Demo 1 v0.5.1
(A whole new HTML megabyte of game!)

New level, end game screen, FPS optimizations, and also a few more!!

What's new?

-End game screen for if you beat a level!

-New array to unlock levels!(will make them cloudsave soon)

+The settings button actually works!

-Added Spring Mountain and renamed it from Spring Insanity!

-Optimised the game by limiting clips in a single level/untied literally anything possible to keep the FPS MUCH higher than 18! Such as @lol56lol reccomended!

-Got rid of every unused script!.. But unfortunately didn’t find a workaround for Update scripts… Sorry @noobfield

-Added the last piece of tutorial text for the end flag! Such as @Moh_Animator said!

7 entirely new things!! PLAY THE GAME NOW.
EDIT: I had to quickly patch the game to 0.5.1 because the levels array wsn’t working.

No, It’s not. I’ll check the Smiley’s code to see what’s going on
Wait, are you using 0.5.0 or 0.5.1?

Another bug;

Also if you hold jump, you jump really high being able to avoid some things and parkour and when I finish the level and come back, it messes up the collectibles.

Holding jump is suppossed to have you jump higher, I don’t exactly know how to fix the collectables, and can you… elaborate on what the bug is in the screenshot?

Smiley isn’t being collected, and I was wondering if you could decrease the jump limit if you feel it is appropriate.

I don’t know… now it seems like 12fps? anyway what noobfield meant is that you can add some updates on the scene instead of in the objects I don’t know if it’s already like that
