Was waiting for this, now I know I can make smoother movement for my prototype. Thanks for the great content!

More tutorials like this please! Short and sweet, yet lots of depth :)

I love this video format! Please keep posting more videos like this. Great work! I want that course, please! :D

extends KinematicBody2D

const UP_Direction := Vector2.UP

export var speed := 600.0
export var jump_strength := 1500.0
export var maximum_jumps := 2
export var double_jump_strength := 12000.0
export var gravity := 4500.0

var _jump_made := 0
var _velocity := Vector2.ZERO

func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
var _horizontal_direction = (

_velocity.x = _horizontal_direction * speed
_velocity.y += gravity * delta

var is_falling := _velocity.y > 0.0 and not is_on_floor()
var is_jumping := and is_on_floor()
var is_double_jumping := and is_falling
var is_jump_cancelled := and _velocity.y < 0.0
var is_idling := is_on_floor() and is_zero_approx(_velocity.x)
var is_running := is_on_floor() and not is_zero_approx(_velocity.x)
_velocity = move_and_slide(_velocity, UP_Direction)

for the all the lazy ones!

Thank You For Doing This Tutorial! It Really Helps Me To Understand :D Wait For More 2D Game Tutorials

Line 18:Too many arguments for "move_and_slide()" call. Expected at most 0 but received 2.

I like how you created variable for each state, so that you can them plug in those variable when you need. Thats something I need to do more.

[Gdquest]

And if you liked it, let him know you want him to do more!

Quick question: Is there any real difference between collecting input on _physics_process instead of _process?

[metal-matze]

These shorts are very good and helpful! Thanks

[WanderingWhisper]

Question: Why are variables declared using ' := ' instead of just a ' = ' sign? Thanks.

[sepgorut]

This is not good enough!! I want 4D Movement in Godot in 2 minutes!

[ciaragarrity]

You did a great tutorial for just four minutes, you got me out of a block. Thank you!

The method used to implement gravity direction alterations in Godot 3 seems to be completely different in Godot 4, so now I'm tediously trying to figure out a working method because I need the mechanic in my game lol

[robertcrawford]

Beautifully concise!
Thanks very much!

[baertbellemans]

Simple and clear tutorial. Keep up the good work. Thanks.

[hipxel]

Question:

In the input code. Why are you not using if Input.is_action_pressed()?

[gofastutos]

I love quick tutorials. I could not find one. That i why I've started making fast tutos too 👍😁

Howdy, I have a question.
I want to store data of enemies in one scene, so that it respawns later when the player re-enters the scene. However, I don't want the enemy to reappear as soon as the player enters the scene. I only need it to reappear after a given interval, or when the player saves the game (Similar to other metroidvania games). I'm not sure how to implement this...

How should one go about doing this in Godot? Should I save the data for ALL enemies then use a timer to respawn the enemy? Or is there a better way to go about doing this? Thanks in advance!

How would you approach a 2.5d game, like double dragon or golden axe, where it's using 2D, but you give the play area a sense of depth, and when you jump you don't want to be punched by someone stood further 'up' the background, so they aren't on the same plane as the player?
