Flitsiewastaken

He is out of line but he is right.


BounceGD

Who tf says "half time" this ain't American football


Enderlytra

it’s actually a musical term, for whenever a time signature written as a fraction equals 1/2.


BounceGD

Oh Well that's good to know


Enderlytra

and conversely, double time is when the time signature written as a fraction equals 2


hilterocks

I've never said half time or double time in music, who tf taught you


yoydid

Makes no sense in the context of gd


mfglljdlgendgamepro

Chrisical

returntomonke_-

Feisty-Flan1305

these are speed portals, not timewarp triggers


Emotional-Yak-7559

This. Time triggers are in 2.2


Top-Alfalfa2188

OP is using music terminology.


Eblan23

⅔speed, 1speed, 1⅓speed, 1⅔speed, 2speed


ProGamingPlayer

0.666 speed, 1 speed, 1.333 speed, 1.666 speed, 2 speed?


Eblan23

Well 🤓 actually correct way to type this is 1.(3) 1.(6) etc


ProGamingPlayer

You’re correct. Infinite decimal.


screaming_bagpipes

Isnt it 0.3̅, 1, 1.3̅, 1.6̅, 2


ProGamingPlayer

I think a dot on top of the repeating numbers should be more correct


Pissed_Geodude

Dot and line both represent infinite decimal


ProGamingPlayer

OK :D


Ups1deDownPants

A line is only used when multiple digits are recurring, but a dot is for one digit.


-KuroTsuki-

Depends on the country


devimkr

In mine it's expresed with either "..." At the end, with a line on top like the other guy, with "(" But tilted 90 to de side and on top of the number or a "chinese hat" type of thing (like ^ but instead of being a 45° angle its more like a 120° one) on top of the number :)


CoNtRoLs_ArE_dEfAuLt

Me, an American learning about all this for the first time:


cclloouuddlliillyy

Ohhhh


No-Wolverine5144

Yes that's correct


isuckatnames60

And 1.(9)


ProGamingPlayer

…Means 1.999999999999…


DerGemr2

Means 2.


KingDomiThe1st

These are the actual speed increments, the 2x portal makes the cube go 1.333 speed for example.


ZenyX-

If anyone was wondering why (took my dense ass quite a while to realize) it's so that the highest amount of spikes the icon can jump over always increases by one. I.e. 2 spikes at half speed, 3 spikes at normal speed, 4 at double, etc. However, because RobTop just hates all of us, it's not actually exactly those numbers. For instance, half speed is a bit faster than 0.66 and quadruple speed is a bit slower than a direct doubling of normal speed. This is all not to mention that normal speed is ALMOST 10 editor tiles per second, but just a weird little margin over that. All of this makes any sort of precise calculation tending to Geometry Dash's speed a living hell.


OzdorMiZ

r/theydidthemath


HeatDisastrous9942

I’m pretty sure it’s actually 0.777…x, 1x, 1.333…x, 1.555…x, and 1.777…x. I feel like I heard this from one of GD Cologne’s fun fact video, but take it with a grain of salt because I really don’t remember.


random_user133

It's 0,7 for half speed, 0,9 for normal and 1,9-ish for quadruple speed according to robtop


HeatDisastrous9942

If 0.9x is normal, then what is 1x? The fact that “normal” speed isn’t the default 1x is so cursed.


anonfinn22

While those may be correct, they're really difficult to say and remember so I still refer to them according to the number of arrows.


Eblan23

That's not hard, on normal speed your jump is 3 spikes long, on slow speed your jump is 2 spikes long so it's ⅔ speed, on second speed your jump is 4 spikes long and 4-3=1 so it means that is 1⅓ speed, etc


Severe-Hovercraft414

This is actually nearly correct


Rough-Throat-286

your friend is right


Bu1135

I jus think saying half time portal is easier than saying zero point five times portal


Rough-Throat-286

it’s the word “time” that’s the weird thing


AssociateWitty8387

*point five is right there*


Twisted_WhaleShark

It’s a music theory thing


DirtL_Alt

I'd say just point five


Jorin33

"Point five" is easier to say Edit: this has been said twice already, i forgot to read. Whoops


mfglljdlgendgamepro

so you can say わすれた


NoOneCares1357

Half speed is easier


Pin_Brawl

and that’s why point five exists


Protobyte_

I pronounce it ecks


Michaeloooooooo

half speed, normal speed, 2x speed, 3x speed 4x speed


1mRobika1234

Same here tbh


p_best07

the time between cube jumps remains (almost) constant throughout the speeds, which would not be true if we change the time. it is a speed portal, not a time one.


Twisted_WhaleShark

It’s a music theory thing, in which "half time / double time" very much represents speed. I’m surprised no one got this, since so many people here are musicians


Rude-Duke

You have problems calling it times.


enaaaerios

your friend is right


YourLocalRyzen777

who even calls it half time like bro this isn't osu


GDFruityGaming

(not actually) slowgrandpa, average joe, lil child, marathon runner, your mom coming to your room to see what you broke

ProGamingPlayer

Slow, normal, quite fast, very fast, extremely fast (that blue one is no longer called medium)


screaming_bagpipes

"Quite fast mini wave" lol


ProGamingPlayer

Sounds weird


ProGamingPlayer

🤣


GDOverlorder

Slow speed, normal speed, double speed, 3x speed, 4x speed


Patient_Weakness3866

I think the irony is none of those are right, since they don't increase your speed by that amount.


AquaHeart_

Ok nerd


RabbitMaster19

Who the hell says ‘double time’ or ‘quadruple time’? “yo the part with the 3x speed portal is coming up” sounds way better than “yo the part with the triple time portal is coming up”


NotASingleNameIdea

Isnt it literally the same thing except one is numerical and other is by words?


candycane_snowman

Yellow, blue, green, pink, red


NMTH_123

3x speed portal


Severe-Hovercraft414

Play Electrodynamix


Finnmiller

Half speed (or 0.5 x speed), 1 x speed, 2 x speed, 3 x speed, 4 x speed I know that’s probably not what the actual speeds themselves are by that’s just what I get from the symbol


Yokoshoki

ColorIsSomwhere

1/2 Speed, 1 speed, 2 speed, 3 speed, and 4 speed portals


anonfinn22

The way your friend refers to them sounds more natural. As an aside, those aren't the portals' actual speeds - the speed changes are actually much less than the names imply. But I still like using those names for convenience.


Bu1135

Yeah I think the real speeds are 0.8x, 1x, 1.3x 1.5x and 1.8x just so that the game is reasonably playable bc a 4x speed boost would be impossible


zozozomemer

Walk, Bike, Bus, Car and Racecar is what I would alternately call them


AssociateWitty8387

Sir(or Maam, or chair) what kind of breed are you?


Bu1135

Im actually a goat on a farm in Zimbabwe I just found a computer out in the wild


CalebAH_15

It doesn't slow down time, it just makes you faster. So your friend is right
