Scrolling (Dec 17 2024)

When I first tried out scrolling to access your platforms, it felt way too fast and imprecise. It was way too easy to scroll past what you wanted. At first this made me give up and consider other options, like having your 2nd hand press extra keys on the keyboard. I thought that since Celeste does something similar I could get used to it, but no, one of your hands also has to use your mouse too. If humans grew a 3rd arm then maybe, but it's way too hard with only 2.

Which is why I went back to scrolling. Since games like Minecraft make it work, surely there's a way to make it work here too. The solution was to add a delay to the code checking your mouse's scroll wheel. Once you scroll, it won't register any other scrolling you do for the next 0.05 seconds. That tiny delay makes the scrolling much more manageable.
