Floating Tile Ability


The first ability I have decided to implement for the game is a box (or tile) that the player can spawn at any given time and use it as a platform to stand on top of.


Originally I was spawning it under the player, but it became immediately obvious that it could be exploited to reach everywhere, so the new box will take a few frames to solidify (ie. make the collision active) and you can only have one at a time, so it should be much harder to exploit. I have a feeling that I will get back to this box eventually to change the mechanics, but for now it stays as is.

For this prototype, I want to theme most of the abilities around tilework (think Spanish, Moroccan, etc.. tiles). So placing a tile that you can jump on top of seemed like the most basic ability. I have a few more ideas that I want to implement.

What's left to do for this tile is the actual visuals, as well as animations for it spawning and despawning.
