Jumpman (a Chipmunk-based platformer)

Post by mcc »

Hi guys,

I made a little 2D platforming game and it uses the Chipmunk physics engine. If you would like to see it it is at

Thanks to Mr. Lembke for this great library.

wow, that really is cool! Is it on purpose that the level doesn't get reset if you die?
I love the rotating world and the level-changing, it's so unlike any other game. 2d-jump and run is obviously not a lost cause yet :D

Thanks! And it is on purpose... if the player gets the level all screwed up I want them to live with the consequences :)

On the pause screen you can restart the path you're on, which will reset the level but give up some progress to do so.

Any tips on moving "map" not character?

Demo 4 in the Chipmunk source code does something like moving a map (ie: moving static object), but I don't think that's what is being done in this little game. It looks more like gravity is changing directions and the camera is rotating to reflect the change.
