I don't know if anything ever slowed down due to code changes. I think it is some sort of optical illusion because, to me, it still looks like my IF moves faster when on the skateboard or in the gorilla costume. Maybe it is a trick of the mind because we would expect someone on a skateboard to move faster than someone just trotting. I thought maybe it was due to the fact that when the IF is trotting (no vehicle or costume) the appearance is sort of jerky while when on the skateboard or in the gorilla costume the IF's movement is more smooth (especially when using the former). But then this does not explain why using the pogo stick also appears to make the IF faster.
I used my digital watch to time the IF using different costumes and vehicles. It has hundredths of seconds but who knows how accurate a $9 Walmart watch is.
I ran another trial, this time running in the hall at school (luckily the hall monitor did not catch me
). Here are the results:
Skateboard: 10:69
Gorilla Costume: 10:66
No vehicle or costume: 10:72
Pogo Stick: 10:65
Ghost Costume: 10:66
Update in italics:
Hoverboard: 10:56
Regardless of any time trial results, I still use the skateboard because even having the appearance that I am moving faster makes me think my chores are getting done quicker.
