WELCOME TO FEINDISHDEMON'S PLATFORM TUTORIAL!
W,A,S,D moves.

I SEE YOU HAVE FOUND MY GLITCH!
YES, THIS ISN'T THE BEST, BUT HEY,
IT'S BETTER THAN SOME! NOW ABOUT A WAY DOWN.
JUMP RIGHT. LEFT FALLS FOREVER 0_0

BASICALLY, THIS IS WHAT YOU'LL GET FROM THIS TUTORIAL!
NEAT, HUH?

FIRST THING'S FIRST: CREATE A MOVIE CLIP WITH AN INSTANCE
NAME OF "PLAYER"

Next, create
a movie clip
with an instance
of ground.

this will be the ground! :)
put whatever you want into it.
this tutorial revolves around curved
ground, so you can probably just
use the brush and it won't matter!

to your right is the code that you will use!
you'll notice that at the beginning, there
are a whole bunch of variables, such as
speed, gravity, jump height, etc.
These are the variables that control that stuff.
if you want to make your character faster, then
just make speed higher, etc.

Now we shall put in some script!
you only need script for the
player. and it doesn't need
to go inside it, just on it.

BUT WE AIN'T NEARLY DONE!

ONWARD!

INSIDE THE MOVE CLIP, YOU SHOULD HAVE THREE FRAMES. ON THE FIRST
FRAME, PUT IN THE GRAPHICS FOR YOUR PLAYER WALKING. ON THE SECOND
FROME JUMPING, anD THE THIRD FRAME STANDING! :)

onClipEvent (load) {var grav:Number = 0;// gravityvar speed:Number = 10;// how fast you walkvar jumpHeight:Number = 15;// how high you jumpvar slow:Number = .7;// sets water falling speedvar slowspd:Number = speed/1.5;// sets water walking speedvar setspeed:Number = speed;var scale:Number = _xscale;var ex:Number = 5;// makes hitTests better, change for a closer hitTest (warning, more buggy if smalle, less real if further)this.gotoAndStop(2);}onClipEvent (enterFrame) {grav++;_y += grav;while (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {_y--;grav = 0;}if (_root.water.hitTest(_x, _y, true)) {if (grav>0) {grav *= slow;}speed = slowspd;} else {speed = setspeed;}if (Key.isDown(68)) {_x += speed;_xscale = scale;if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {this.gotoAndStop(1);} else {this.gotoAndStop(2);}} else if (Key.isDown(65)) {_x -= speed;_xscale = -scale;if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {this.gotoAndStop(1);} else {this.gotoAndStop(2);}} else {if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true) && !Key.isDown(79) && !Key.isDown(73)) {this.gotoAndStop(3);}}if (Key.isDown(79) && !Key.isDown(87) && !Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68) && !Key.isDown(73)) {this.gotoAndStop(5);}if (Key.isDown(73) && !Key.isDown(87) && !Key.isDown(65) && !Key.isDown(68) && !Key.isDown(79)) {this.gotoAndStop(4);}if (Key.isDown(87) && _root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y+3, true)) {grav = -jumpHeight;_y -= 4;this.gotoAndStop(2);}if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2)+ex, _y-(_height/2), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2)+ex, _y-(_height/6), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x+(_width/2)+ex, _y-_height, true)) {_x -= speed;}if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2)-ex, _y-(_height/2), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2)-ex, _y-(_height/6), true) || _root.ground.hitTest(_x-(_width/2)-ex, _y-_height, true)) {_x += speed;}if (_root.ground.hitTest(_x, _y-_height-15, true)) {grav = 1;}}

WE SHALL NOW PUT IN WATER, LIKE YOU SAW
EARLIER! :D JUST LIKE THE GROUND MOVIE CLIP,
MAKE A MAOVIE CLIP WITH AN INSTANCE NAME
OF WATER. Just draw the water, and you have water!

Finally, there's the
DYNAMIC camera, also
known as a V-CAM.
YOu should give this one
it's own layer, at the top

STEP 1: create a movie clip containing a rectangle
The same size as the stage, don't worry about an instance name.

STEp 2: Go into the movie clip, and on the frame, put in
the above actionscript:

parentColor.setTransform(camColor.getTransform());function camControl() {parentColor.setTransform(camColor.getTransform());var scaleX = sX/this._width;var scaleY = sY/this._height;_parent._x = cX-(this._x*scaleX);_parent._y = cY-(this._y*scaleY);_parent._xscale = 100*scaleX;_parent._yscale = 100*scaleY;}function resetStage() {var resetTrans = {ra:100, rb:0, ga:100, gb:0, ba:100, bb:0, aa:100, ab:0};parentColor.setTransform(resetTrans);_parent._xscale = 100;_parent._yscale = 100;_parent._x = 0;_parent._y = 0;}// make frame invisiblethis._visible = false;// Capture stage parametersvar oldMode = Stage.scaleMode;Stage.scaleMode = "exactFit";var cX = Stage.width/2;var cY = Stage.height/2;var sX = Stage.width;var sY = Stage.height;Stage.scaleMode = oldMode;// create color instances for color // transforms (if any).var camColor = new Color(this);var parentColor = new Color(_parent);// Make the stage move so that the // v-cam is centered on the// viewport every framethis.onEnterFrame = camControl;// Make an explicit call to the camControl// function to make sure it also runs on the// first frame.camControl();// If the v-cam is ever removed (unloaded)// the stage, return the stage to the default// settings.this.onUnload = resetStage;

STEP 3: go outside the v-cam movie clip and
put in this code, so it homes into the player:

onClipEvent (enterFrame) {_y += (_root.player._y-_y)/4;_x += (_root.player._x-_x)/4;}

finally, in this incredibly simple
tutorial, we shall put in COINS N'
STuff, like that read dot you saw
at the begenning of the level!

ALL YOU NEED TO DO IS GO AND MAKE A MOVIE CLIP
CONTAINING THE GRAPHICS FOR THE MONEY!
THEN ON THE MC put in this code:

onClipEvent (load) {this.swapDepths(_root.getNextHighestDepth());}onClipEvent (enterFrame) {if (_root.player.hitTest(this)) {_root.score++;this.removeMovieClip();}}

THE MONEY MOVIE CLIP IS INFINATLEY DUPLICATABLE!you can put as many as you want on the screenand nothing will go wrong! plus you have the scorevariable, so you just need to make a dynamic text boxwith the variable score.just remember to put in score=0; at the begenning of the movie (before the game begins), otheriwse the score box will read NaN

FINAL SCORE:

0
