Platform jumping problems with AABB collisions
- by Vee
See the diagram first:
When my AABB physics engine resolves an intersection, it does so by finding the axis where the penetration is smaller, then "push out" the entity on that axis.
Considering the "jumping moving left" example:
If velocityX is bigger than velocityY, AABB pushes the entity out on the Y axis, effectively stopping the jump (result: the player stops in mid-air).
If velocityX is smaller than velocitY (not shown in diagram), the program works as intended, because AABB pushes the entity out on the X axis.
How can I solve this problem?
Source code:

{
Position += Velocity;
Velocity += World.Gravity;
List<SSSPBody> toCheck = World.SpatialHash.GetNearbyItems(this);
for (int i = 0; i < toCheck.Count; i++)
{
SSSPBody body = toCheck[i];
body.Test.Color = Color.White;
if (body != this && body.Static)
{
float left = (body.CornerMin.X - CornerMax.X);
float right = (body.CornerMax.X - CornerMin.X);
