Apple Game Frameworks and Technologies: Calculate Speed, why divide by 255? (pg. 50)
@Paradox927 - Just curious to know how you came up with 255 when calculating the speed, on page 60 in the PDF.
...
let calculatedSpeed = TimeInterval(distance / playerSpeed) / 255
...
The code notes, and footnotes are great for illuminating the programmatic choices made, but the 255 number seems arbitrary without any immediate insight into the choice, and likely something that can be dynamically changed.
Anyways, any insight provided would be great, and thanks in advance!
