Basic Movement Part 1


To continue the process of learning programming, and to make things easier for myself, I'm temporarily moving away from Lua and VSCode, and working on GameMaker where I have an actual engine editor and an interface I can use.

I will be making a prototype for a sidescroller/puzzle game. 


Aside from the basic jumping and moving around, I already added a feature that I think could be nice for when my daughter plays -- a smell step-up so even if you don't make it to the platform, as long as you are within a certain amount of pixels (for now, 3), the player will climb up at the last second.

Another small implementation is making sure the jump height is based on how long you keep the jump button pressed.
