Hey, so im making a game for my programming class. The basic idea is to be a simple 2d old school street fighter style game, the problem I'm having happens to be with jumping. I would like to make it, so if the up key is pressed, the character will raise a predetermined amount (A constant I have) and then descend back down to the ground. I;m still rather new to greenfoot and java so please explain how you make something work please :]
Heres my current code that works for walking, but not for jumping.
import greenfoot.*; // (World, Actor, GreenfootImage, Greenfoot and MouseInfo)
import java.util.*;
import java.awt.*;
/**
* Write a description of class char1 here.
*
* @author (your name)
* @version (a version number or a date)
*/
public class char1 extends Characters
{
public static final double TE_SPD = 5.0;
public static final double TE_JMP = 100.0;
/**
* Act - do whatever the char1 wants to do. This method is called whenever
* the 'Act' or 'Run' button gets pressed in the environment.
*/
public void act()
{
move1();
jump1();
}
public void move1()
{
if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("right"))
{
int x = (int) Math.round(getX() + TE_SPD);
int y = (int) Math.round(getY());
setImage("Char1Right.png");
setLocation(x,y);
}
if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("left"))
{
int x = (int) Math.round(getX() - TE_SPD);
int y = (int) Math.round(getY());
setImage("Char1Left.png");
setLocation(x,y);
}
else
{
}
}
public void jump1()
{
if(Greenfoot.isKeyDown("up"))
{
jumptiming();
jumptiming();
jumptiming();
gravity();
gravity();
gravity();
}
}
public void jumptiming()
{
int x = (int) Math.round(getX());
int y = (int) Math.round(getY() + TE_JMP);
setLocation(x,y);
try
{
Thread.sleep(500);
}
catch(InterruptedException e)
{
}
}
public void gravity()
{
int x = (int) Math.round(getX());
int y = (int) Math.round(getY() - TE_JMP);
setLocation(x,y);
