Basic Platformer Tips?

by Ben Batstone-Cunningham · in Torque Game Builder · 06/05/2005 (10:17 pm) · 7 replies

I am working on a basic platformer for my first game. The goal is to have the player pick up objects around the map and jump up to a goal area.


So goal #1: movement! I need to let my player jump. Is the best way to do this using the physics engine, or is there a better way? Does anyone have an example?

more questions as I find them :-)

I'm happy I finally got a response though - just as I was thinking back into TGB.
