moving-platforms

I am using a kinematic body for my moving platform on x-axis, so I set the linear velocity to b2vec2(5,0).

When the player jump on the platform, it works like it is suppose to. But the thing is that my platform is on the obstacle layer and I am moving it with the parallax layer.

So if I setTransform the kinematic platform to follow the obstacle layer than it's physics will not work and the player will slip-off the platform.

I'm developing for iOS and using cocos2d api. Anyway around this?

I've been trying out some rope-physics recently, and I've found that the "standard" solution - making a rope from a series of objects strung together with springs or joints - is unsatisfying. Especially when rope swinging is relevant to gameplay. I don't really care about a rope's ability to wrap… >>> More

When I did platform games, I've always wished to know how to make an engine, so that I could re-use it. When I see games that have slopes, curved slopes, perfect gravity… >>> More
