Making Platform Games...

[linux_man007]

Makslane, how do you make a game such as Super Mario Bros in GE?
I'm a newcomer to GE, so I'm not quite sure how to do it.

For an example, how would you make the main character appear to walk on the ground without shaking?

Also, how would you make gravity in such a game, so that the main character may fall after stepping off of a ledge, or reaching the peak of a jump?

To make actor walk, can use PhysicalResponse action.
To make gravity effects you can increase yvelocity attribute of your player

I am currently working on a tutorial about making platform games as this sort of game seems to be one of the more popular uses for game creation programs.

Mr Linux, u can simply create a Region Actor(call it Ground) and on collision with it,ur character gets a y-velocity 0.On Draw Cator, set his y-velocity to 4 for gravity.u now need to create left-Right button.
