Speed of update varies with machine

[kiorpesc]

The ball seems two or three times faster on my laptop than it did in the lab. Is there a way to set the update rate to a fixed time?

I see that there's a "schedule interval" line... but it doesn't seem to guarantee a fixed speed.

You work on school stuff at home? Neeeerrrrrddddd <3

Anyway, That's interesting. We'll need to investigate that further.

The update function is called every 0.01677 seconds, as stated by the Clock.schedule_interval line. What this probably means is that the lab computers are spending more time on processing frames than your laptop. Try adding a label to pong.kv that prints out Clock.frametime (should be formatted str(Clock.frametime) )

We'll check this out further in lab tomorrow I guess.
