ADOFAI ez editing example 2: When Your Laptop Keyboard Sucks
Okay so I'm mostly a casual player, right? Like, I just wanna vibe with some cool patterns and music. Not trying to be the best or anything. But then I saw this "ez editing example 2" thing and thought... maybe I should learn how this stuff actually works?
Playing on my laptop though - which has this mushy keyboard that sometimes doesn't register presses. Or double presses. Or just... does whatever it wants. Not ideal for precision timing, but hey, we work with what we got.
This level is supposed to be an example of easy editing. Like, showing you the basics of how to make your own stuff. Which is cool because I kinda wanna understand how these charts are put together. Like, what makes a good level vs a bad one? What are the principles these designers use?
And man, talking about editing - ever get into that mapping trance? Where you're tweaking ONE section for HOURS and suddenly it's 3AM and you're like "wait what happened to my evening?" Time just disappears when you're trying to get the timing perfect.
Some of these community levels are straight up technical limit tests though. Like, they're not just hard for players - they're pushing the GAME ENGINE to its limits. And your hardware too. My laptop fan starts screaming like it's about to take off.
Oh and speaking of technical stuff - I once spent like two days stuck on a level because my HEADPHONES had 47ms delay. FORTY-SEVEN MILLISECONDS. Adjusted the settings and suddenly everything just... clicked. The whole world snapped into sync. Wild how such a tiny thing can mess you up so bad.
So like a strategist planning an attack, I'm trying to figure out how to approach learning this editing stuff. Should I just dive in? Watch tutorials? Copy other people's work?
Random questions that pop into my head while playing: Does ADOFAI even work with multiple monitors? Like, if I have my laptop screen plus an external monitor, does it just show on one or can it span? And what ARE the known "wall" difficulty spikes in the community? Like, which levels are the ones that everyone gets stuck on?
This ez editing example is actually pretty chill for learning. Doesn't throw too much at you at once, shows basic concepts, and doesn't require perfect timing (which is good because my laptop keyboard is trash). Good starting point if you're curious about making your own stuff but don't wanna get overwhelmed.
Now if only my spacebar would stop double-tapping randomly...
