I am using this combined with Macroflash8's platformer tutorial to make a platformer that actually works. Also, unless used at the same time as another tutorial, it should really have some kind of sequence to it so as to help people know where to start.
OH MY GAHOODLE! I LOVE THIS! Even though I had to use the Vcam section on Randomzzzz's AS2 platformer tutorial to make the Vcam(I don't like the downloadable ones), this was the FIRST platformer tutorial on Kongregate to EVER work for me! I am working on a game that has multiple levels and the platformer is only one of those. 50000/5!
RewardPoints wasn't working, spent 10 minutes looking over function explode() and could not find any errors, just copied and pasted in the whole thing and worked perfectly.
Fixed my health bar. Added resetHealth(); to onLoad, changed _xscale to _width in resetHealth, changed resetHealth amounts to 55, and changed damage amount in EnemyMissile to 5. Hope this helps!
