Reply to comment by Moonside in Floating point considered harmful (for games) (a rant by 1vs) by twovests

I never even considered time in a server or the whole mess of floats in emulators. I hope to dink nobody is using floats for time.

I also haven't considered about probabilities getting outside the bound of 1, but I still reserve my right to be angery at floats here. grrr floats.

I also have not considered rational numbers, because, wow, they sound very satisfying, and also even less supported, and I want to be their friends, where can I use them,

Reply to comment by musou in Does this idea make sense? 2 time dimensions in video games by twovests

Ugh I had a comment mostly written and then I replied to toasthaste and it got deleted ;v;

Basically, yeah there has to be some mechanic to adjust or change the rates, else it's logically equivalent to one clock. They can take on any real value >= 0 (and, tbh they could go backwards too just as easily). In my platforming idea you'd probably just switch between the two clocks.
