VCR-style controls

VCR-style (Video Casette Recording) controls have been possible since elma 1.2. They allow the rec to be watched on slow motion, fast forward or backwards.

Vertex

A node of a polygon. Minimum is 3 vertexes/vertices for each polygon in a level (otherwise the edges between the vertexes couldn't form a polygon). Limit of polygons in Elma demo version was 5 and limit of vertexes was 10 per polygon. In full version the limits are 300 polygons and 1000 vertices. Not to be confused with edge, though a polygon always has same amount of vertices (nodes, corners) and edges (arcs, lines).

Volt

A volt is a move that you can use to rotate the bike. You can use a left volt, right volt or a alovolt.

Vsync

Vertical synchronization. Switching vsync on you can limit the frame rate to your screen's refresh rate. If you don't know whether you have vsync on or off, it's probably on. See Refresh Rate and Tweaking page for more material.
