It would be preferred if he main character could walk / run / crouch / jump / Climb ladders / prone, look up and down although the crouch and prone are not as important.
The preferred arsenal would be
1. Some rifle like m16
2. A knife
3. A side arm, for example Beretta
4. C4 for special missions but it does not need to be part of the arsenal, just to be triggered on location needed to blow up.

The sprites will all be composed from video captured images so you don't need to worry about creating good looking graphics for your project as they would get replaced anyway.

Can you at least tell me what I am doing wrong?

G'day mate.

Your project is interesting.

I like the fact that the graphics are supplied.

I think a lot about platform games. A good stable engine is something I have attempted a few times now. I have solved a few problems but do not have an "elegant" system thus far.

I would love to see some game sprites.
