: This is something I've been wondering about for a while: In the Marathon
: games, holding the 'forward' key and a 'strafe' key at the same time will
: cause the player to move diagonally. At the same time, the player appears
: to move a little faster than pressing 'forward' or 'strafe' alone would
: provide.
: So does diagonal running really boost your speed, or is it just an illusion
: like the HyperVision pickup's "Warp Drive" effect?
Heh, no, we just walk that way for the looks ;)
Do you recnognize this math formula? c^2=a^2+b^2
It should answer all of your questions.
