Arrow keys to move 'Z' or 'SPACEBAR' to jump 'X' to shoot the Polar Star Hold the jump button to jump higher This engine is deprecated, and replaced with the better named Balrog engine. That one supports slopes and has good sidescrolling. Slopes don't work, because I can't figure out how to handle them! Keep in mind this is a demo, not a game. Please make one out of this! And don't just copy the demo...unless you want to make a copy of Cave Story.
I've seen a lot of platformers coded so holding JUMP makes you stop right above the ground, then fall the remaining inch, messing up some tricky jumps. I've just tried to make a platformer engine that doesn't have that issue. Also I want to make all of Cave Story in Scratch, but I digress. FEATURES: -You don't go through walls (always a plus) -You don't go through ceilings -Parabolic gravity (similar in feel to Cave Story, not Mario or Megaman) -Newfangled checking functions to guarentee you don't clip into the ground -Sidescrolling capability (big levels, on the other hand, you add on your own) BUGS: -Walking down slopes is bugged; you will technically be falling, and thus be unable to jump, and once you fall down, your downward speed will be unnaturally high -Walking UP slopes is also bugged. It barely works, and is way too slow anyway. TO BE ADDED: -Water physics -Functioning slopes
