hi, thnq for this tut, now in 2010 i still learn from this, but i cant seem to enlarge my Player/hero
where in the code do u enlarge the player so he walk normal on the ground?

i’ve changed the tiles to: 32×32

i think i gotta change something here:
( but it doesnt work )

var left_foot_x:Number = Math.floor((x_pos-6)/tile_size);
var right_foot_x:Number = Math.floor((x_pos+5)/tile_size);

i want a player from 32×32 HOW?

[...] in flash-games seems to be the next hype, so I couldn’t stay behind. A while ago, I found Emanuele Feronato’s tutorials on tile-based platform games in AS2 and decided to convert them to AS3. But the engine was still not what I wanted, it was fancier if [...]

Great job. You have awsome tutorials.
I was wondering how to implement different levels.
I tried using a switch function but It didn’t turn out right. Maybe you should show how to implement an exit portal and different levels next. Keep up the good work.

This is an amazing platform engine and heavily customizable. There are only a couple things I would still need:

1) Collision detection with patrols to trigger an event
2) Multiple levels via warp/door

I will start to get cracking on this stuff, great tutorial.

I am always looking for ways to optimize code. Thanks.

I love where this is going, the game engine is brilliant! Especially with the translations into AS3 for future-proofing! Its performance is so efficient; their is not much horse-power needed to run it – a flash-lite potential for the mobile phone!

Since the roaming bots were introduced, what screamed in my head was their collision triggers. Plus elavators that transports the player up or across certain areas as well as its trampalines. (Oops, another challange ^-^).

Also whilst looking upon this and studying Tonypa’s tile-based study as well; scrolling the environment across the screen across with the player’s excess momentum can be a possibility. Also jumping from one arena to another…

I’d love to work on this engine and create as much gameplay mechanics too and cool imagery!

Hi Emanuele,

I guess there is a bug on the ladder tile. If you stand on the top of the ladder and press jump, the char will fall from the ladder. I don’t know if this is proposital but in my opinion the char should only step down if the down key is pressed.

Keep the awesome work!
