Why are you worried about performance for a 2D game that's basically moving a few sprites around the screen? A game like this shouldn't be taxing for modern hardware; and should even run cleanly on pretty much any computer made in

I've definitely responded with prompts for feedback with "Stop nagging me for feedback all the time. I just want to (do what the app is for) without interruption." It's kind of shocking how some people just don't ge

That's an extremely insightful comment; I can't believe it's being downvoted. I would add that I once had to file an FCC complaint when my internet went down. Comcast kept sending me to an AI bot; it appeared that they automa

The US legal system is all based on proving harm. In this case: 1: SSLMate is a paying customer. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) 2: Google harmed SSLMate, and their customers, by deliberately interrupting the services that were paid for. Th

It's easy to forget that most of the weight in an electric car is the battery . It's ICE cars where a lot of the weight is in the motor. That being said, could this be adapted so that a 2.8lb motor produces 100 hp? That would all
