The discovery of randomness in everybody edits

Introducing the discovery of randomness in Everybody edits!

It started when I won a platforming level in a world.   I saw these right arrows that i sat on, and jumped to find myself drifting through the zero gravity dots that were in the winners room.   someone else was trying to steal the crown, and when I gave up on that we found ourselves jumping off these arrows into the zero gravity.  

but then I noticed something...   he was going farther than me in the antigravity.   i thought maybe he was pressing left on the arrowkeys a little, but then I tried it myself... to find that after a few tries I was slightly farther than him without pressing any keys.  

I made a locked room, started getting out some bricks and tried it.   after several tests I made a "machine" that has random results.   However, I have changed it several times because at that time I only used two keys.   After testing three keys, I made this.   It's not perfectly random, but that's what makes it interesting.   Maybe somebody can make a minigame or something that forces you to choose between 3 door platforms, and put risk and strategy into this game.

Re: The discovery of randomness in everybody edits

It is actually caused by desync between your block collision and grav collision. This is something that I or mustang will elaborate upon at length at a later date in the "Bugs" section.

The jist of it is that your smiley is not exactly in the same spot that you see on your screen at all times, and gravity responds inconsistently as a result.

^ That

I was using a double connection and I noticed that where I was on one screen was slightly different on another.

Very interesting. I'm sure this will be fixed soon!

Fail bump; the new physics have destroyed this kind of randomized mechanism.
