I had a similar bug when I was making my game. You want to move the player\/object like this\nplayer.pos += (player.direction * player.speed * ds)\nwhere ds is the change in time from one frame to another. This allows you to not have to worry about how fast your game runs based on the computes hardware.\n\nthis is for construct but here is a link.
