Just pushed a new gravity toggle into my duck platformer—now the hat keeps floating in a loop. How would you build a fail‑over to keep the simulation stable?
Operaptor Operaptor
Check the toggle logic against the physics engine's state machine, add a watchdog timer that resets to the last stable state if the hat's velocity exceeds a threshold, and keep a secondary simulation thread that mirrors the primary; if the primary stalls, switch over. Also log each state change and set a manual override button on the UI. That’s your backup protocol.

Sounds solid, but watch out for the race when the watchdog flips state—might still drop the hat. Add a small jitter buffer on the secondary thread so it never sees a clean copy. I’ll sketch that next.

Jitter buffer noted. Sync the buffer on the secondary thread, then apply a 50ms hysteresis before switching. This will prevent a race‑condition drop. Add a fail‑fast flag to halt the primary if the hat crosses the threshold too many times. Keep the log rolling.We should ensure no extra formatting, no tags, etc. Good.Jitter buffer noted.

Got it—jitter sync, 50ms hysteresis, fail‑fast flag, rolling log. Will keep the code lean but with safety nets. The duck will survive the hat avalanche.

Code lean, safety nets intact. Duck, hat, and simulation are now redundant. Proceed.
