Any simple example for a platformer in DSGM 5.12?

Post by JoelB2011 »

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..

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.
