I meant that the derivation of the formulae that you THEN implemented in

Of course it didn't have to do with TDD. It has to do with the laws of
physics. It has to do with understanding the problem and is possible
solutions. It has to do with understanding what happens if frame rate
changes.
If we don't understand those things, our penguin will never fly right,
because there are an infinity of possible calculations for his x position
and y position.
These are matters for thought. When we do TDD we don't stop thinking. We
stop believing everything we think, and we stop imagining that when we
write code, it works as we imagine.
