p5 Collision Detection (again)

Question

I don't know why this isn't working. The x axis is getting added to 2 each millisecond. If it the value is higher than the total width, it adds -2 therefore going backwards. So I don't know why this isn't working. It has worked before but not now

I changed some codes and added other way for handling gravity and jump.

Answer 2

Farry I thought ODLNT would be better at helping with this, but because he hasn't responded yet, maybe you can help make the jump animation smooth (sorry for wasting your time again)

Answer 3

You're a legend, thanks!

Answer 4

Do you know why this collision isn't working? It has worked in previous codes but not now. I am finding the dist between the 2 balls, if it is less than the 2 radii added together they should collide. I don't know why this isn't working

Answer 5

you are recreating the xSpeed var every time you call the move method. you have to store it as a property of the object and multiply it by -1 whenever is touches the walls.

// add this in conatructor
this.xSpeed=2;

// update the move method
move(){
this.x += this.xSpeed;

if(this.x > width || this.x < 0){
this.xSpeed*=-1;
console.log("hit");
}
}

Answer 6

the problem is that you are not updating the distance 'd' property every time you move the object.
update this.d in the move method and it should work fine
