Swipe to jump

MattVollet

Hey all, does anyone have a good example of a swipe to jump type deal? I'm trying to make a character move based off of the velocity and angle of the user!

Thanks guys!

Intriguing. Well I would start by looking at some of fire maples tutorials. He has some great ones for things like this.

I never tried, but I think you can do something like this:

when mouse is pressed, save Coordinate Y in a self.attribute or game attribute, your choice.
when mouse is released, save coordinate Y in another one.
Then, check last saved coordinate Y - first saved coordinate Y.
If the number is > 0, jump.

It's not perfect but it should be a start.

ah, should have said this. Coordinate Y that must be saved is the one of the mouse.
