hi im new in axe and i want to know how to jump like in a mario game?

Simple jumps, or more realistic jumps?
I already have code I used to help 2 people out with jumps. I'll go fetch it.

well im starting so simple jump will be fine

Ok, since I already got a simple more realistic jump code, here it is anyways:

Jumping isnt really that bad.

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]->Pic1 ;Pic, but just a cube
56*256->Y ;X and Y are inflated by 256 for accuracy
0->X->V->W->A->B->J
Repeat getKey(15)
If getKey(54)
-256->W ;Set Y velocity to -256 to go up
256->V ;Set X velocity
8->B ;Set a downward acceleration to fall
End
If Y/256>57 ;simple collision with the bottom of screen
56*256->Y ;Reset
0->A->B->V->W
End
V+A->V+X->X ;Find X coordinates
W+B->W+Y->Y ;Find Y
Pt-On(X/256,Y/256,Pic1)
DispGraphClrDraw
End

Where X,Y are coordinates
V,W are velocities
A,B are accelerations

Collisions with realistic jumps get tricky once you get involved with collisions.

For a simple linear jump, keep a variable for jumping, lets say J. Then we'll have an X and Y.

Probably other ways to do it, though.

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]->Pic1
0->X->J
56->Y
Repeat getKey(15) ;loop here
If getKey(54) ;push 2nd to jump.
!If J ;checks if ready
1->J
End
End
If J<16
J++
X++
Y-- ;go up
ElseIf J<31
J++
X++
Y++ ;go down
Else
0->J
End
Pt-On(X,Y,pic1)
DispGraphClrDraw
End

Simple thing I thought up ^
But no collisions. Just go down as far as you went up in that code

wow thx i will check this

but what is the 56*256? :O

epic7 · « **Reply #5 on:** December 20, 2011, 06:26:22 pm »

The variables are multiplied by 256 to be measured in 256ths of a pixel to be precise.

nice but you forgot a dispgraph and an end in the last code lol but do you know how to jump and to be able to move left and right with arrow?

epic7 · « **Reply #7 on:** December 20, 2011, 06:56:36 pm »

Lol, oh yeah. Fixed it (and also added ClrDraw).
I had to do it quick since I was short on time

getKey(2)?X--
getKey(3)?X++

I think that is a quick way to move.

If any of the code doesn't make sense you can talk to Parser Padwan, Epic7, or me....(Parser showed me, and correct me if I'm wrong but didn't I show you epic? or did parser show you to?)

Also more realistic jumping isn't that much harder....collisions are whats hard

I can write up a quick movement engine (Super simple) if you want:)

epic7 · « **Reply #9 on:** December 20, 2011, 07:32:27 pm »

No, I just figured it out

Once, you explained it to me when I already knew it since you misinterpreted my question

saintrunner · « **Reply #10 on:** December 20, 2011, 07:34:55 pm »

AHH now I remember...lol, now I see, *saintrunner looks closely at epic's code* Yeah Mine is a lot different...I think Shorter too, but yours looks like it's less complex, so Its better for teaching

edit YEAH JUMPING!!

Cram · « **Reply #11 on:** December 20, 2011, 11:10:37 pm »

yes if you have a more simpler code, can you teach me?

ztrumpet · « **Reply #12 on:** December 20, 2011, 11:17:17 pm »

Here's a pretty simple explanation: http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=37

Though this tutorial is in TI Basic, it breaks down everything very well and could be (hopefully) understood by a non-programmer as well as a programmer. I suggest giving it a look and seeing if it can help you at all.

epic7 · « **Reply #13 on:** December 20, 2011, 11:24:06 pm »

Lol I don't understand any of that code example because of my weak Ti-basic skills

saintrunner · « **Reply #14 on:** December 20, 2011, 11:35:48 pm »

wel I do it very similar to epic....but here is it explained

[FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF]->pic1M //This is our sprite...yes it's a box

line(0,0,95,0)
line(0,63,95,63)
line(0,0,0,63)
line(95,0,95,63) //this will draw a border
45->X
55->Y
0->J // setting all variables
repeat getkey(15) //main loop till 'clear' is pressed (getkey(15)=clear button)
if getkey(2) and (X/=0) //If left button is pressed and it is not hitting the left side (I'll show you later how to do simple collision) (/= means does not equal)
X-1->X //move sprite over one pxl to the left
End
if getkey(3) and (X/=87) //if right is pressed
X+1->X //move to right
End
if getkey(4) and pxl-test(X,Y+8) //if he is on the ground and up is pushed
15->J //change this for your jump height
End
if (J>0)
J-1->J
Y-1->Y //decreace J and decrease Y (bring him up...notice subtracting from Y makes him go up!)
End
if (pxl-test(X,Y+8)=0) and (J=0) //if nothing is below him and J is 0
0->J //just in case you land on a platform
Y+1->Y //bring you back down
End
Pause 25 //so it's not too fast
pt-change(X,Y,pic1M)
Disgraph
pt-change(X,Y,pic1M)
End

That should be it....any questions, and you know where to find me
