PSA: Don't resize the window if playing on Flashpoint

With the advent of the death of Flash in browsers, I suppose new runs will start being done on Flashpoint. On that note, I tested the game to see if everything worked normally, and I only found one particular issue.

To put it simply, if you resize the window, the level "Is your head hurting from all these puzzles yet?" (the one you break the roof with a trampoline and your head) becomes unbeatable, because the roof above the trampoline never actually breaks.

Just to be thorough, if you happen to reach that level and you did resize the window, simply restoring the original size fixes the issue without the need for a reset, though with this in mind I'd suggest just playing on the original window size for all of the run.

Hello! Changing the size of the window or zooming in/out affects how many times you need to bonk the ceiling in order for it to break. It seems to always be be a square number (i.e. 16, 25, 49), so I guess your resize just increased the amount

Another thing to note is that zooming in occasionally allows the player or the "NPCs" to clip through the floor, which usually prevents you from beating the level but can in level #45 (SK16) speed things up by a lot. It is very inconsistent though so it's not something I'd recommend going for in actual runs

I see, so if I left it there just bonking the ceiling, it'd eventually break no matter the size of the window. I find it very curious that a game mechanic would be tied to the window size in such a way and I kinda wonder why that is, but then again I can't expect the dev to think of this scenario (after all, resizing the game wasn't possible until Flashpoint as far as I know).

Thanks for the explanation!

PS: Given the actual differences you mentioned when running on different sizes, I think sticking to the original size is still the best way to go about this and I think this should be added to the rules (since resizing could potentially give you an unfair advantage vs runners playing on browser as originally intended, which couldn't resize), but maybe that's just me.

Resizing does work on browser by zooming in/out, and there is no "original size" since people play on different monitors/resolutions. I guess further discussion on it could be had, but since it's hard to standardize it might be weird (I could be a bit biased since I submitted PB with zooming today, hehe)
