Maybe try sheep polution text tutorials?
Huh? I did a search for that on Google just now, and I can't find anything by that name.
I spelt
pullution pollution incorrectly, silly me.

OK. Thanks! I NEED MORE HELP!!! I am using physics from windfield
https://github.com/a327ex/windfield, but that's just a wrapper for the physics module, which is a wrapper for Box2d. As you will notice, the ground is VERTICLE!!!! GRAVITY IS HORISONTAL!!!! Don't worry, I planned that. Questions, Comments, or Concerns?
PS: I am placing the code in a GitHub repository. The link is here:

Why do you use all caps so much? IT COMES ACROSS AS HOSTILE when you do that. (I'm not meaning to be hostile - just trying to demonstrate the effect that has.)

Thanks! Could you give some platformer help? Also, I would love to make you a profile picture. Anything you like!

Your WIP.love looks decent enough - WASD to move/jump, wall/ground collisions seem to be working. You can currently jump repeatedly whether or not you're on the ground (bug or feature? lol) and the level doesn't scroll with the player cube. Those might be the next things to look into.
And thanks for the avatar offer, but I'll pass on it. I have an avatar stashed away on another PC, and I've just never bothered to pull it out and upload it. Maybe I'll do that someday.

I just don't know how to make it check for ground, or else I would put a triple-jump limit. I am using the love.physics module, but with the Windfield lib to make things easier. Wanna check out my GitHub repo to help more?

Oh...
Can I make you anything else?

Checking for ground (since you're using a physics library) is essentially doing a collision check between the player and any (nearby) objects. Standing
on the ground is just a special-case collision where the ground is under the player. To implement triple jump, use a jump counter that resets to 0 when the player lands on the ground. Jumping is only allowed if jump counter is less than 3.

Sure, I'm open to that.
Feel free to PM me.

Why has nobody checked this out?
I can't speak for anyone else, but these are my reasons:
1 - My free time is extremely limited. I work full time, I'm a husband, I'm a father, and I own a nearly 100 year old house that needs a lot of upkeep. It's therefore difficult for me to get meaningfully involved in any additional projects. (I actually do most of my coding & forum posting during any downtime at work, lol!)
2 - External libraries are kind of a turn off for me personally. Yes, I'm weird that way, lol! I typically don't understand the code or I dislike the implementation. As a result, I'm really uncomfortable relying on them as a result. I might look at them to learn something, but it's much more efficient for me to write my own code.
3 - I looked at the posted .love file and assumed the git was basically the same - there's been no real activity since the .love was posted.

There has been plenty of activity, and there would be more, if people were more willing and able to help. Here's the new .love:
