randomly spawned doodle jump style platforms

slev

Hi,

whats the best way to generate random platforms as the actor jump up them similar to doodle jump, i would like to randomly generate them but make sure they are always within enough distance to jump to.. i would also like it to become more difficult the further you get by making the plaforms further appart as you get further.

Finally i would like to randomly spawn the platforms at different sizes for this i have made 5 platforms all different sizes whats the best way to randomly chose between them.

thanks in advance

This will be a relatively advanced project to ensure all of that. I would recommend taking on some easier ideas until you have a great understanding of using all of the attributes to create that logic. It might take me weeks to get something like that to work perfectly. You wouldn't want any platforms to overlap either.

My basic answer is: I don't know how to achieve that right now.

Best of luck,

Just had a look at the demo myself and it looked really cool (fairly complicated as I suspected it would be though).

thanks very much for that, looks complicated but ill give it a shot !

I had a similar issue.. platforms were randomly spawning out of reach. In my case, it was due to the shape of my platforms (some were round and some flat).
