Tweens duration different on different machines

[esotery]

Hello guys and girls,

 

I am trying to get my head around one problem I am noticing when using Phaser's tweening mechanism.

 

I've create a simple effect to highlight text which I wan't to be clicked on. The thing is, that the tweens (scale up and scale back) run at different speed on different machines. On table PC or laptop, the animation is shorter than on mobile devices meaning the tween takes less time to complete.

 

Am I doing something wrong here? Is it a "feature"? I mean if I tell the framework that a tween should last 1000ms, it should last 1000ms no matter the CPU speed. FYI, I am using Phaser.AUTO for the renderer in the game constructor.

 

BTW, I am experiencing this issue also in standard examples from examples library (like tweens > bounce).

 

Thank you very much.

 

this.Effects = {            pulsateText: function(text, pulsDuration) {                var self = {                    scaleUp: _game.add.tween(text),                    scaleBack: _game.add.tween(text)                };                self.scaleUp.to({                    fontSize: text._baseFontSize + 10                }, pulsDuration, Phaser.Easing.Linear.None, true);                self.scaleUp.onStart.add(function() {                    self.delay = 0;                }, this);                self.scaleUp.chain(self.scaleBack);                self.scaleBack.to({                    fontSize: text._baseFontSize                }, pulsDuration, Phaser.Easing.Linear.None, true);                self.scaleUp.onStart.add(function() {                    self.delay = 0;                }, this);                self.scaleBack.chain(self.scaleUp);                self.scaleUp.start();                return self;            }        }

Found it already, don't know why but it seems you have to use 

game.tweens.framebased = true;

Even though it should be (IMHO) the other way around:).

I also opened a topic about the exact same thing with your exact same conclusions:

Mario, actually I found the answer in your thread, sorry for not giving you credit rightaway:-).
