Top 5 Times With Loads:

Jump: 2:46.799 KingYeti: 2:47.970 Westboyka: 2:48.250 slippy318: 2:54.600 SnOoty: 2:55.033

As you can see, Forkphorus has faster loads. Should the change be made?

But if it runs at 30 fps wouldn't it work the same?

Nah, I don't want to switch to times without loads, that would be such a pain for the mods to calculate. I want the leaderboards to be fair however, so maybe we can find another solution (or maybe removing forkphourus and changing the existing forkphorus times to the load speeds of the scratch version if we can't figure something out)

I'll retime the runs without the level transitions myself to see if I get the same result.

Side note: Slippy's and Snooty's runs were on a different version of Scratchnapped, before it was fixed for Scratch 3. IDK if it affected loading times but keep that in mind

Tbh i thought more people would use forkphours than just Jump and I, so I would be fine with removing it, since my times can be beaten in the Scratch version. But Jump's times are good and deleting their runs on forkphours isn't an option. From your calculations it seems like its 0.5-1 seconds faster for any% so maybe we can add 0.75 seconds or something to the forkphours times if we do decide to ban it?

The point of forkphours is to have a platform where it might not matter as much if you have a good computer or not, since it converts into JS. But if people arent using it then that defeats the purpose of it.

But I'll do some retiming tomorrow and see how big the difference is. (Having an accuracy of 0.25 seconds is not very good lol)

If we do switch to times without loads, it would probably only be people under a certain time who we do it for.
