Any simple example for a platformer in DSGM 5.12?

Hi I would love to be able to make a simple platformer, I am just using DSGM 5.12, I tried to make one using my logic but failed to do so. Are there any platforms example files for DSGM 5.12? I would thank you a lot.

I have passed the question onto James.. But maybe in the meantime if DDD logs in he might be able to answer your question..

James has just informed me that he doesn't have any examples.. So, i'm hoping DDD will log in and try to help you.. I have reached out to him as well..

Hi - just confirming the above and saying it's true; I don't have any examples. However in the meantime it's worthwhile looking at some of the "moving parts" of a platformer - gravity for e.g., and you'll need to know a bit about "floating point maths". I think this is a good intro: https://hackaday.com/2017/10/02/underst ... t-numbers/

That is because the DS cannot divide numbers very quickly and you need to track gravity at more precision than 1 or 0, so the movement/"bouncing" is smooth

Can you show us what you have so far; what you tried and what didn't work?

We will find a way to get the old forum up and running this year, if it's the last thing we do.
