You mean you didn't want to try to calculate the friction coefficient and use that to cause the deceleration? Pssht what kind of dev are you?
/Sarcasm -
@TheOct0 I would have solved this in the same manner. No need to make it super complicated unless you're aiming for real life physics.

Root824606yI love physics, so I'd have gone with the equation.
But a static drag coefficient is really easy and works well enough, too. (dxy *= friction every tick) I've used that pretty often as well -
TheOct039316y@Root I'm a simple man. I see that I have to integrate complicated physics into my game, I cry.
-
@Root that'd be version 4.0 or so. After I fixed all the other bugs I might loop back around and code some quality physics. (And add even more bugs)

Once I was coding a pool game, and didn't know why the white ball kept on going on forever. It was 4AM, so I was already a little tired as you can imagine.
The glitch came from the fact that I had designed a whole polynomial function to imitate the deceleration of the ball... I replaced it with two lines: one creating speed and deceleration value, and another one subtracting the deceleration value until speed was zero. And then I went to sleep.
