What does "(-V" even mean?

I was randomly typing 0s and 1s without an intent of making sense.

But I can't do so because it'll be taught in college. I have no other choice ):

And thank you so much (:

A thing to note: C++ is wayyyyy faster than Python. In fact, if you treat C++ like C and don't use all the bells and whistles that come with C++, C++ is as fast as C. C is something like 100 times as fast as Python.

For those of you tankers roped down by Chromebook limitations and ChromeOS google: "Crostini".

 

Newer Chromebooks are getting more freedom. I now do python and image editing on my Chromebook :)

Told you, at 50k you can get a Acer Nitro 5, which has very nice stuff.

If all you need is to do web stuff then just get a Chromebook, if you want a windows laptop get a $350 i3 ACER. What FPSrange are you looking for in Tanki? 

[thunderousrailgunner 1,934]

What FPS range are you looking for in Tanki? 

Around 45-55 FPS with Mip-Mapping, Skybox ON (Don't laugh, My PC had only these options :D)

My PC never had the option "Automatic Graphics Quality", so some good graphics that would suit will be good.

For a Windows laptop this should run Tanki at max (if you want faster startup speed buy an SSD to go with it): https://www.amazon.com/Acer-Aspire-i3-8130U-Memory-E5-576-392H/dp/B079TGL2BZ/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1533393737&sr=1-4&keywords=laptop&dpID=41HfDkXXyeL&preST=_SX300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch&th=1

chromebooks are stupid, overpriced and glorified toasters

That is only true for the higher end Chromebooks.. Chromebooks are better than Windows laptops on the lower end because the Windows10 operating system is very demanding.

Linux is lighter than Windows

So much so that I managed to bring a pentium4 with 2gb of ram back to life :))

I managed to get the PC running Trraria, Unturned, Robocraft, M&B War Band, and some space games all at playable frame rates (over 24fps).

 

One of the most important things that I did to get things working was to add a GPU. The GPU I used was a mid-range piece of (words banned from the forum) from 2009. Lucky or sadly for me my limiting factor was ram. The reason why using the Linux OS helped so much was mostly because of the fact that it uses less ram than windows.
