It's a platform jumping came where the user has to hit the correct number that corresponds to the platform.

Yes, all the platforms are the same size and spacing.

Edit to add: ALL the platforms are spaced equally. Some of them will be invisible with solid disabled.

As the platforms shift offscreen on the left side, they hit another hidden sprite which sends them back to the original point to be looped through the level again.

I was just wondering how the acceleration number works so I can easily implement it. My coding is very young, so to speak, so there's no fancy tricks or anything. All straight forward. The way i have it is the cat jumps and the platforms accelerate at -12500. That number is very strange to me since the screen is only 400px wide. What does the 12500 mean? 12500 pixels?

99Instances2Go, i just had a peak at the edits! Thank you!

Thank you for the help, 99Instances2Go. And thank you for the compliment! means a lot for my first game. Can't wait until I get more stuff into it.

I was just wondering what the 'math' is to the number when it comes to the play screen. The platforms in my game move left giving the illusion the character is moving right. I'm having a hard time trying to get the character to land directly in the middle of the platforms each time, plus trying to figure out the spacing between the platforms. There's so many slight changes I need to make to the acceleration of the platform that for all these levels that I'm making, I would be wasting a lot of time adjusting the number by small increments. So, I just wanted to know what the math would be to easily figure out speed and distances using the sprite origins and such.

My game consists of a cat jumping to platform to platform. The platforms shift to the left as the cat jumps, to give the illusion of a right scrolling level.

For one of the platforms, the acceleration is -12225. What does this number mean exactly? I didn't see it in the manual.

Thanks.

Good idea, mikehive. I'll give that a try. But is it a bug that the spawned objects are not behaving like their parents? It just seems so weird.. especially when playing the game 20 times in a row and seeing no pattern whatsoever to when they would and would not move.

I was having an issue of the player double tapping the keys when only one key press is allowed per jump. So, I added more conditions: the cat can't be moving, platform one and two can not be moving either. So in order for the cat to jump, nothing in the game should be moving. These platforms are destroyed once they are off the canvas.

With that said, the moving platforms that don't stop when the character collides with a platform will eventually move off screen. They should be destroyed after this; however, I can't move the character so it must still be moving. It seems like the behaviors for the original sprites don't go to created duplicates..

P.S. I originally had it so when that it had to be true that the character was NOT moving for the any action to happen with the key. For some reason, that didn't work until I added the conditions for the platforms, too.

I have two platforms that will generate offscreen. The platforms will move to the left to give the illusion that the character is moving right.

My problem: when the new platforms generate, they don't follow the same rules as the platforms that start on screen. The ones that start on screen are platform one and platform two. The ones generated off screen are these same platforms.

On jump, the platforms move at a set speed. On collision, all platforms stop moving. This works for the first few jumps but as the new objects are generated, they don't stop moving on collision. And unfortunately, it's only *some* of the time they will stop moving. Sometimes they move, sometimes they don't. What gives?

The created objects are either platform one or platform two.

There is no visible pattern to this issue. I made the screen three times the width so I can see objects created but I see no pattern.

Jumping to the platforms one, two, or three has a random effect on the created objects. Sometimes they will stop when I land, sometimes some of them will stop, and sometimes none of them will stop. There is literally no pattern to this madness, er go, I can't see a solution. Some help?

I'm creating objects that's off screen with each press of key. The new objects are either platform one or platform two.

For some reason, when progressing through the first few steps, the created objects move much faster. Shouldn't they be following the same rules as the original platforms?

Never mind. Just a simple coding error. Don't mind me!
