So is this why my jumping dude was so damn difficult to fine-tune?

*EDIT* No, no it isn't. I wasn't using the physics engine in any regard (that I was aware of).

This breaks the "drag from the original click point" portion of the code, but purely for testing purposes see if this doesn't help: function update(dt) if drag.active then local x, y = love.mouse.getPosition() rect.x = x - drag.dx * dt rect.y = y - drag.dy * dt end end

Do me a favor and post the results here so I can see what you did. You don't have to use this thread, but it might be helpful in keeping it all in one spot.

I'm not entirely certain what your problem is? The example works perfectly for me with no noticeable lag or anything. I click the square and drag it and the cursor remains and the square is dragged around. WFM.

It certainly works. I understood none of what you said, but it works.

Hmm. How's his left to right? Is he Road Runner or is he fairly sedate?

Does he jump off the screen? Because right now he's meant to jump a goodly portion of the screen. But not off.

Just an update, as I've gotten this to do both Double Jump (if you continue holding the jump key down, he double-jumps, something I'm not entirely certain I like) and a little bit of hang-time (which helps you to find the height of the jump for maximum double-jump). Here ya go: -- Make a dude jump u...

Awesome, thanks. What I wound up with: -- Make a dude jump up and land. Also allow the movement left and right. function load() dude = love.graphics.newImage("dude.png") x = 300 y = 400 speed = 100 jump = 0 end function update(dt) if love.keyboard.isDown(love.key_right) then x = x + (speed...

Okay, so I'm trying to (very simply) make a little dude jump up and land. So far it's actually going okay. I got him to jump. But he jumps at OMG ridiculous speed versus the left and right which are far more reasonable. I know dt has to figure into this SOMEWHERE but it's escaping me where (I don't ...
