Platformer Skeleton in LOVE

[andrew.207]

Hey guys, I made a fairly simple platformer skeleton.

I did this tutorial a while when I was learning love, this is based loosely on that code (that's why the colours are the same).

I rewrote most of it, now it handles collisions, has a nice smooth camera and plays and feels nicer.

It's basic, but it is a good skeleton for anyone who wants to whip up a very quick 2D platformer who might not want to use ATL.

There's one bug I've seen in the state machine, but it doesn't affect gameplay AT ALL so ceebs.



Controls:

1. ARROW KEYS to move
   X to jump
   ` to toggle debug mode
   TAB to toggle gravity
   (once debug is on)
   WASD to force-movements (will go through walls, funny stuff might happen)
   HOLD Z + WASD (will force-move you ONE unit upon key release)

Looks very solid. Good work.

When I hold down the jump button, the player keeps bouncing. I would expect the player to jump only once, when the jump button is pressed. You can change that by using the love.keypressed callback instead of love.keyboard.isDown.
