[Yr7-10it] Gamemaker help

[Daniel Stanley]

Thanks Dan and Tony for your input.

The yoyo.games tutorial did the trick.
(I think I was position checking in the wrong direction....)

Have a great day,

Daniel

Hi Daniel, Tony's comment was pretty spot on, but gravity is pretty good
when you get you head around it.

You have the gravity action in the wrong event, it should be behind the
step event - every step checking if you are in the air.  If you are, it
is then that you set the gravity.

I've attached the sheets that my kids follow when they are making this
game.  I pretty much ripped it off the example that came with the
software.  I found my kids could follow it (some needed a bit of help)
after they had done some easier stuff and were familiar with the
program.

Dan
