Platformer Test 0

This was a project from back in 2023 (early 2024?) that I never got around to publishing. The goal for the project was to create a Celeste like player controller!

• Features
  • Dashing
    • Supers
    • Wavedashes
    • Pause at start to allow for changing directions (5 frames)
  • Wall Jumping
    • Wall jump straight up if holding towards a wall
    • Wall jump still activates if you are a few pixels away from the wall
  • Forgiving Systems
    • Hitting a corner of a ceiling will cause the player to move around it
    • Coyote time for jump (5 frames)
    • Input buffer for jump (5 frames)
  • Collisions
    • Custom collision system created with just raycasts
      • Probably more finicky than just using rigid bodies but I wanted to do it for the challenge and experience
    • Moving platforms
    • One way platforms
    • One way moving platforms

• Wish list if I return to this project
  • Adding more dash techniques other than supers and wavedashes
  • Player keeps their momentum after jumping off of a platform
  • Fixing a bug with couching that creates a visual glitch for a few frames after pressing down
  • Adding a use for coins and gems
  • Adding more levels and placing enemies in them

NOTE: Please do not try to override the frame rate the game runs at! It is locked at 60 fps. I did this as an intentional choice in case I went further with development, I wanted to have the potential for true frame perfect inputs. As such, there are some systems in the game that rely on the game running at 60 fps.
