lmao if you had constantly refreshed your page you would’ve seen me stupidly trying to figure out how to work it, lol. I got it now ^ ^
Soooo, where are you going to go from here? layers? 3D? movement?
I need help again :\
This time with my character and how to detect if he should fall or not
I’ve tried making a way to have the game check if there’s a block underneath the self.y of the character and if it’s nil, to change the self.floor to the top of the block that’s underneath.
This seems to be much easier to detect if you use sprites but, yeah…
if self.y - 32 > self.floor then
self.y = self.y - self.vel
end
You could try using the physics engine… But that would make EVERYTHING physics-y. (All the blocks…)
Well, @Jordan your pretty smart, so in your opinion would the game work better or make more sense of I used physics?
Just thinking about it, you could use fixed EDGEs on the top of every block, and it wouldn’t mess with the gameplay. I will try and write something up for you (BUT YOU TRY AND BEAT ME)
P.S. Character? Hmmm… Any code for my prying eyes?
P.P.S. That applies to @Andrew_Stacey too 
Lol, he’s just a bunch of meshes put together to resemble the minecraft character for now 
He’s only colors. Lol, he’s under the class, “Joe”
(@RichGala1, are you jailbroken? If not, I have a little surprise for you)
Still, I kinda want to see you code, so I can modify it, and you don’t have to modify mine.
If I am then I don’t get a surprise?
If you are, do you own minecraft pocket edition? And here is another little surprise for you…

I am jailbroken and I do own MCPE. I’m using their tiles 
(cheater)
Ooh! Code! Checking it now
Aaah. I was going to suggest using the char.png file in the minecraftpe.app folder or (if this works) go here 
Holy crap!!! Man, I told myself I was going to sit down and learn about the physics engine one day! Tht’s freakin’ awesome!
I barely know it! Who thinks someone out there should write a tutorial on it?
can physics be applied to sprites/meshes? and if not, do physics objects only affect each other or can a regular rect() stop at an edge?
You have to apply them yourself, but it is pretty simple to do so. No, physics are in their own world. And you have to create floors and walls in there.
Notice my ellipse(self.player.position.x, self.player.position.y)? That is applying it to a shape
Sometimes it’s easier to learn from a step-by-step tut than an example like the physics lab so I agree that there should be a good tut. @Vega 's mesh tutorial was illuminating, if someone can make a physics tut like that it would be great
@RichGala1, what do you say about us working together, learning about the physics function, and writing it up?

Sounds like a brilliant idea. Do it!
