Help with jumping

Nicholas · 2011-10-22T05:47:14

I was learning from lazy and I got a simple character moving left and right, I added in my own timer so that the players animation would look better. I am having trouble with jumping. I had a backup code and I replaced main with that, so I lost whatever was in main for jumping. but player.h should still have some relics of what things (y_velocity, y_offset, etc.). I was also tried splitting my game up into smaller .cpp files, I kept getting errors about the players status and everything. I only had one time the extra .cpp file worked, but nothing was in it (that was in any other thing) I was also trying to get "platform" to work (a simple test level lol). I could not get any image to show and it kept giving me errors. Please, I am not in the mood for bickering and flaming, I would like some help. I have looked for tutorials and asked a college kid; but I couldnt find anything to help me, my c++ book says nothing about this, and the college kid is busy with a java project. Can you help me with: *jumping (it can be simple, I can build up from there) *falling (same thing) *splitting my game up into .cpp and .h files (again, saw no tutorial and the book only said to #include .h and then the .h file will look for the .cpp or something like that) *getting the platform to work (if it isnt in there, thats because I probably reverted back to an older version of my game, but I had nothing in the files to begin with, just a load_image) if my .zip file doesn't work, then tell me whats wrong, thanks

He's just a troll. I doubt he ever had any intention of putting forth any effort, and rather just wanted to come piss a few people off for the lolz. Let's please just let this thread die. RIP thread.

I wanted to put forth effort, i wanted some code to start off with, not some people just gettin angry (ON STEROIDS) with me about coding... You only gave me vague riddles, you say you gave code, but it didnt work and didnt say where it goes. id still like the help put in there, but its like non e of you could bring yourselves to do such a simple task. so i just play with my raycasting engine instead.

but i voew anytime i see someone getting picked on, i shall post a picture of the riddler, and if i can help them (when i come online), i will to the best of my ability.

I wanted to put forth effort,[/quote]

So far as the evidence in this thread goes you've not even tried to debug the code yourself leave alone try to understand it. What exactly is meant by "effort"?

And by the way, if I were you I would show some gratitude to the people who've actually bothered to take your code and worked with it to try and get the jumping code working whether the code works or not. They've spent their valuable time and effort for no material benefit. If you cannot do so, at least avoid insulting or belittling them.

Your approach is wrong. Please understand that respect works wonders. Respecting the people who're trying to help will get you far.

I see what you did there, took a fragment of a sentence. Not to troll or flame, but quote the whole sentence.

I wanted to put forth effort, i wanted some code to start off with, not some people just gettin angry (ON STEROIDS) with me about coding.[/quote]

you just did not want to help me with a simple task, and none of you can truly answer why you did not want to put code in. you all highly disappointed me, you really dont want to teach people or help them, looking at everything your only true answer is "look in the book". Seeing as though this is the free section I suspected as much but none of you truly are charitable or wanting to help people. I already thanked them for trying to help, but i also told them their help didnt help. im surprised you all get mad easily over this. i really dont want your help anymore, i couldnt do the thing for class.

From where I sit, you can't even put in the effort to make a coherent forum post. You haven't even put in the effort to download a working debugger. 2 people post code showing how to implement jumping and you get bitchy that they didn't do your work for you.

People, programmers in particular, hate stupid, lazy, entitled, inconsiderate, ungrateful, passive-aggressive, guilt tripping, immature children. The less you look like one, the better help you'll receive. Welcome to the internet. Hopefully you'll learn something if you're not a troll.
