So…two hours before deadline, but I has something now! I has movement!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And Gravity!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And….PLATFORMS!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So that makes this a platformer then. This is close.<\/p>\n

Right, so now would be the time to add enemies, IIRC. Or…yeah. Then let them collide with the player to “kill” him, or collide with the lights to change how they’re working.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Um, but first:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tween examples:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So this is where I got my tween code to work from – the basic premise is that, when the character jumps, it calculates his max jump, then motion tweens him to there.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When that finishes, that tween object that did that throws an event that I listen for that triggers him falling, with another tween.<\/p>\n

And that tween has a listener that goes off every time the above falling tween moves, and checks to see if the character’s hitting an object – if it is, then it puts him above the object. (Might remove that last step if I felt this wasn’t going to let them fall into the ground.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

ANYWAYS, <\/strong>I do a check every frame (Finally got this part working), and if neither of the above tweens are playing, and the player isn’t touching ground, then I make him activate the falling tween. So…Gravity. It works.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Writing that down so I don’t forget next time I do Ludum Dare, because I probably won’t finish properly next time.<\/p>\n
