• Bug#1107378: achilles: Camera controls unusable on fast systems

    From Christian Lins@21:1/5 to All on Fri Jun 6 16:40:01 2025
    Package: achilles
    Version: 2-13
    Severity: important
    X-Debbugs-Cc: christian@lins.me

    Dear Maintainer,

    Achilles uses arrow keys to change the camera view.
    The program reports high fps rates on the terminal (> 7000fps) and obviously uses
    a camera control logic that is not dependent on the framerate.
    As a result the camera control is unbelievable fast, no normal interaction is possible, which renders the package unusable for most users IMHO.

    As the package is orphaned and upstream has no update since 2001, a removal
    of the package from Debian should be considered.

    Regards,
    Christian Lins
