“Newton” (in my practice project) is supposed to be a square object that jumps constantly, moves to the side when you tilt your screen, and glides when you touch the screen. I also set it so that if he goes too far in any direction, he will be stopped (in terms of where he is on the screen) and the background will move in the opposite direction in his exact speed. Think of the background scrolling in super mario bros, but he just WONT MOVE!!! I can not figure out why this block isn’t jumping constantly, gliding when you touch the screen, and moving side to side when you tilt the screen. Please someone help me with this. Side note: I am fairly experienced with codea programming as of now, so I knew what I was doing when constructing this code.
