Development







I wanted to include horizontal moving platforms in my levels but unfortunately it proved quite hard to do, I could create the moving platforms but the character would not move with them, this goes against traditional platforming conventions and could frustrate people. I worked with my tutor to code a solution but it relied on plotting x and y coordinates of the player and each individual platform and proved more complex than I thought it would be, I got over this hurdle by putting springs on the moving platform s the character automatically jumps when on a movin platform, this encourages the player to move with the platform.
