PART 2 IS HERE!

What do you want the main character of your platformer to be? :D

[eason]

I like how you explain everything instead of just making the viewer copy the code. Great tutorial!

[DerDuoDasLingo]

A DREAM COME TRUE WITH JUST A SIMPLE CODE! You're always amazing, Zinnea!

[ThatCoolKitty]

Finally an easy platformer tutorial that is quick and easy to follow

[cosmocode]

Another way:

set KEY_X to *key (left arrow) pressed* - *key (right arrow) pressed*
change x_velocity to *2 × KEY_X*
set x_velocity to *0.6 × x_velocity*



KEY_X = -1 for left, 0 for none and 1 for right

2 × x_velocity = 2 is the acceleration, set it to something between 0.9 and 2

0.6 × x_velocity = 0.6 is the friction, the smaller the number, the quicker you'll slow down

This girl made in 8 minutes, what I was trying to do in like 5 hours... That's pretty demotivating, I'm disappointed in myself.
Anyway, thanks for the video <3
