TileSense: AS3 tile based platform engine

The name is still JohnnyCar (based on an old idea for a game), but Dylan Dalrymple plans to change it to TileSense as soon as possible.

It’s a platform engine based on New tile based platform engine – AS3 version updated to step 10 PLUS scrolling

According to the official webiste, TileSense is a full-featured platform game engine for the universal Flex/Flash platform created by DD Productions.

It will enable any developer, experienced or amateur, to create dynamic online games at an agile speed with the included Authoring Tools in every release.

At a final stage of development, TileSense will include:

At the moment the project just started but Dylan is sharing the source code. I gave a look at it and I have to say the code is well organized, with every asset in its own class.

A must see for everybody willing to learn something about AS3 and platformers.

And here it is an example of the working engine

As usual, use arrow keys to move and spacebar to jump.

Download the entire project.

    Looks like a great engine definitely going to test this out , just a note for anyone failing to see the player move it is the green block.

    Wow, first, I’m surprised that you actually posted it up here and I’m quite happy, but unfortunately, this is one of my early tests at adapting it to Flex. I’ll email the source to you ASAP.

    What do you mean “a download for the engine itself”? The engine as it is displayed here is included in the “Download the Entire Project” anchor or at this link address, http://www.emanueleferonato.com/downloads/JohnnyCar.zip.

    Dirty fix:
    put this: stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN, keyDown); stage.addEventListener(KeyboardEvent.KEY_UP, keyUp);

    before this:
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, onEnterFrame);

    and the hero will move ;)
