you could give this a read http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/game-programming/the-guide-to-implementing-2d-platformers-r2936 . For each section of the forums, there's usually a "Resources" tab with articles explaining a few things.If anyone would like to add anything else, go for it. P.S. Vector Math experience will be necessary
