«час койота»


Definition from own experience or research:
Під 'часом Койота' мається на увазі невелика гравітаційна затримка при стрибках між площинами. Коли гравець хоче подолати перешкоду, але не встигає натиснути на відповідну клавішу, то йому надається другий шанс.

Example sentence(s):
  • Додано "Час койота", яке активується на частку секунди після того, як гравець націлений на щось, але атакує за його межами. - disppe.unchi.pp.ua  
  • (вибачте, що приклад російською, але ж гарний:) Например, существует понятие «правило койота» (Coyote time), названное в честь Койота из мультфильмов Looney Tunes, который часто зависал над обрывом, прежде чем упасть. Дело в том, что в платформерах игроки обычно предпочитают нажимать кнопку «прыжка» в самый последний момент — чтобы прыгнуть как можно дальше. Зачастую они ошибаются и делают пару лишних шагов в бездну. - dtf.ru/gamedev
