Note: This tutorial is written for AS2!

First off, I'd like to inform reviewers that Newgrounds categorizes tutorials and games as the same; if you were expecting this to be a game, you're wrong!

This is a rather detailed tutorial on my new platform engine. It involves acceleration, deceleration, sliding, jumping, gravity, walls, and two different attack types! There are a few glitches, but provided you don't change the variables too much, you should be fine. I explain every ActionScript word once, and fully explain all of the phrases and lines. RECOMMEND FOR TUTORIAL COLLECTION PLEASE!

EDIT: Daily 3rd?! Woohoo!!!

"How do you put in baddies?"

Great tut and all... But how do you put in enemys and how do you make their AI?

Author's Response:

As I said, that won't be covered in this tutorial. However, I have a very old tutorial called "Real-Time Battles" which explains enemies. The enemies were written for an overhead fight, but with a few modifications you should be able to make it work for platforms too.

Who should I make out the royalty cheques to?

Author's Response:

Just leave a little thing in the corner that says "Platform Engine by Kwing" or something like that. I don't care.

"Good information."

Why'd you have to do green and black? It's an O.K. Combination but I'd choose something with a bit more contrast next time like the lighter green on the buttons. I have a dim computer and that makes reading it all a chore, eispecally when the text gets smaller(whenever you showed the program text on the right for instance.

Author's Response:

YOAR A DIM COMPUTER! Lol, the scripting text got pretty small, but if you can't read it, it's meant to be pasted into an ActionScript panel where it will once again become legible ;)
