The controls are a bit risky but good work and no one will laugh, it's not the purpose of the forum I assure you ^^

However I did not understand:

Is this a problem you encounter?

how would you go about making the controls less risky and less jittery

Well precisely I did not encounter this problem personally, but it is not due to this L207 from main.lua (?):

Code: Select all

    if player.hitbox:enter('jump') then
        player.hitbox:applyLinearImpulse(0, -900)
    end
I only skimmed the code I didn't go deeper than that, but this line checks the collision with an object of the "jump" class and if the player collides with it, what is it? supposed to mean?

Is this normal, or if it is is it due to an object that is of class "jump" when it shouldn't?

Otherwise for the controls I will simply find the right balance between the left/right velocity and the jump ^^

I also noticed that when jumping when going against a wall (not sure what collision class this is referring to) the character no longer falls due to `setLinearVelocity` with 0 on Y.

You might be able to solve this by getting the velocity on Y upstream and applying that to the new one and applying that X to the new velocity. It's a simple suggestion, give it a try.
