Documentation Review

Thank you for adding documentation for the debounce_timer_seconds setting! Here's my feedback:

Spelling and Grammar Issues

1. Line 102: "recommend" should be "recommended"

   • Current: "It is strongly recommend that you do not set this value below the default value"
   • Suggested: "It is strongly recommended that you do not set this value below the default value"

2. Line 102: "overriden" is misspelled - should be "overridden" (with double 'd')

   • Current: "A lower value can lead to slow responses or data being overriden"
   • Suggested: "A lower value can lead to slow responses or data being overwritten"
   • Note: "overwritten" might be more appropriate than "overridden" in this context, as data is being replaced rather than superseded

Clarity and Consistency

1. Missing consistency with other settings: Most settings in this file follow a pattern of explaining what happens when they're enabled/disabled or what value they hold. Consider adding what the default value is explicitly, similar to how other settings reference defaults.

2. Confusing logic in the last sentence: The claim that "Increasing this value will improve performance and ensure that data is consistently up-to-date" seems contradictory:

   • Increasing the debounce timer means requests are sent less frequently
   • Less frequent requests could mean data takes longer to be up-to-date, not that it's more consistent
   • Suggested revision: "Increasing this value will reduce the frequency of requests and may help prevent data conflicts, but it will also increase the delay before changes are synced."

3. Vague language: "frequent requests like updating player properties" - consider being more specific about which operations are affected.

Examples

The documentation would benefit from an example showing how to configure this setting, consistent with the pattern shown at the top of the page:

# Example of changing the debounce timer
Talo.settings.debounce_timer_seconds = 2.0
Talo.settings.save_config()

Suggested Revision

### debounce_timer_seconds

Controls the time (in seconds) between batched requests such as updating player properties, updating saves, and sending health checks. The default value is 1 second.

It is strongly recommended that you do not set this value below the default. A lower value can lead to slow responses or data being overwritten due to request conflicts. Increasing this value will reduce the frequency of requests and may help prevent data conflicts, though changes will take longer to sync.

This revision:

• Fixes the spelling errors
• Clarifies what "frequent requests" means ("batched requests")
• States the default value explicitly
• Resolves the logical contradiction about performance vs. data consistency
• Maintains the warning about not setting it too low

Documentation Review

Thank you for adding documentation for the debounceTimerSeconds setting! Here's my feedback:

✅ Spelling and Grammar

• No spelling or grammar errors detected
• Writing is clear and professional

📝 Clarity and Conciseness

Good:

• The description clearly explains what the setting controls
• The warning about not setting below the default is appropriate and helpful
• The consequences of changing the value are explained

Suggestions for improvement:

1. Add specific use case examples: The documentation would benefit from concrete scenarios when users might want to adjust this value. For example:

   • "Increase this value if you're experiencing rate limiting issues with the Talo API"
   • "Useful for reducing network overhead in games with frequent property updates"

2. Clarify "batched requests": Consider linking to documentation about batching or briefly explaining what batching means in this context, as it may not be immediately clear to all developers.

3. Specify the range: While you mention not going below the default, it would be helpful to know:

   • Is there a minimum allowed value?
   • Is there a recommended maximum?
   • What are typical use cases for different values (e.g., "2-3 seconds for games with heavy property updates")?

📚 Examples

The documentation currently lacks examples. Consider adding:

Code example (Godot):

# Set a longer debounce timer to reduce API calls
Talo.settings.debounce_timer_seconds = 2.0
Talo.settings.save_config()

Code example (Unity):

// Set a longer debounce timer to reduce API calls
Talo.Settings.debounceTimerSeconds = 2.0f;

Scenario example:

"If your game updates player properties very frequently (e.g., every frame during gameplay), increasing this value to 2-3 seconds can help prevent request conflicts and improve performance."

🔄 Consistency

The documentation is consistent with the existing style:

• Follows the same formatting as other settings
• Uses appropriate headings (###)
• Maintains the professional tone throughout
• Properly uses camelCase for Unity and snake_case for Godot

Summary

The documentation is solid and ready to merge as-is, but would be significantly enhanced with the additions suggested above, particularly examples and more specific guidance on when/how to adjust this value.

Documentation Review - PR #42

Thank you for adding documentation for the debounce timer setting! This is an important configuration option to document. I have a few suggestions to improve clarity and completeness.

---

📖 Clarity & Readability

🟡 Ambiguous phrasing: "between frequent requests"

The current wording doesn't clearly explain what "between" means in the context of debouncing.

Current:

Controls the time (in seconds) between frequent requests such as updating player props, updating saves and health checks.

Suggested:

Controls the minimum time (in seconds) that must elapse between consecutive requests for operations such as updating player props, updating saves, and health checks.

This makes it clear that it's a debounce mechanism (minimum gap) rather than an interval timer.

---

✅ Accuracy & Completeness

🟡 Undefined term: "health checks"

Developers unfamiliar with Talo's internals might not know what "health checks" are or whether they need to configure them.

Suggestion: Either briefly explain what health checks are (e.g., "health checks (automatic connection status checks)") or link to relevant documentation if it exists elsewhere.

---

🔵 Uncertain language: "may help prevent"

The second paragraph uses "may help prevent data conflicts," but if increasing the debounce timer reduces request frequency, it should definitively help, not "may" help.

Current:

Increasing this value will reduce the frequency of requests and may help prevent data conflicts.

Suggested:

Increasing this value will reduce the frequency of requests and help prevent data conflicts.

Alternatively, if there are cases where it might not help, explain when/why.

---

💻 Code Examples

🔵 Consider adding a usage example

Since this is a performance-tuning setting with trade-offs, showing developers how to adjust it could be helpful:

Godot:

# Increase debounce timer to reduce API calls
Talo.settings.debounce_timer_seconds = 2.0
Talo.settings.save_config()

Unity:

// Increase debounce timer to reduce API calls
Talo.Settings.debounceTimerSeconds = 2.0f;

---

Summary

Strengths:

• ✅ Clear warning about not setting below default
• ✅ Explains the trade-offs (lower value = conflicts, higher value = fewer requests)
• ✅ Consistent formatting with other settings

Action items:

1. Clarify "between" to mean "minimum time between consecutive"
2. Define or explain "health checks"
3. Replace "may help" with "help" (or explain exceptions)
4. (Optional) Add code example for adjusting the setting
