So…calling it quits for\u00a0tonight, hopefully will get it working today before 5.<\/p>\n

I’ve the got (un-animated) player on the field, but I’ve been trying to control his gravity with the AS3.0 Tween object – I can make him go up on command at a defined rate (Think Old Arcade Donkey Kong – jump is always the same height, and always goes down at the same rate, only if he falls further does he fall further.), but I can’t get that to work with the “Hey! You’re hitting the ground! Stop falling!” code.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Been trying to use\u00a0the character’s y value (Based off of his shoe right now,\u00a0if I’m not mistaken) + 2 (Since\u00a0going downwards means adding to the y-value…yeah, really annoying when all math courses do it the other way around…but you learn to eventually re-program oneself that way.) to account for the ground (So technically, floating two\u00a0pixels above the ground), and then stopping the gravity tween object. But it’s not stopping!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It actually appears to be that my per-frame check isn’t kicking in, and I can’t find out why. So going to take a look at that…at like 12 noon, in 8 hours or so. Right now I need to rest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can find the code here:<\/p>\n

As you can probably guess, yeah…no army of enemies this time around. Might do this in my spare time for fun instead, however. I do like my approach to the theme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

After I get the jumping to work, I’ll be working with the HTML holder for it, I guess. Actually, no. Doing that now. Getting it over with.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hopefully see you all in 8 hours!<\/p>\n
