Platformer Collaboration. I'm a noob, so noobs are welcome.

Hi. I transferred from Scratch Coding to Lua, tried almost every game engine out there, including Unity's personal edition. Then I came to Love2D. I liked making platformers on Scratch, so I thought I might be able to do it with Lua. I was wrong. I need help. May I please have some? I want an animated character that can double-jump. I don't care if it has one scrolling level, or multiple stationary levels. I have the character done (several, actually) so I don't need help with that.
It's the code I need help with. That, and converting it into a .love file. Is that enough explanation? If it isn't, I'll explain more.

All i can do is give you a little example on how its done:
jump.love

Just tell if anything there isnt clear for you.
And regarding converting, there is no such thing as a .love file really. Its either a zip or 7z file renamed.

Hey, i started learning exactly this stuff with the tutorial series by DevJeeper, hes even on this very forum. Just copy what he does until you got a basic understanding of lua and love2d!

I've tried his tutorials already. They have NEVER worked for me. If that sounds a bit harsh, sorry. I just can't use Tiled.

Huh? I did a search for that on Google just now, and I can't find anything by that name.

The character falls through the ground.

Nothing stops you from placing it ON the ground yourself.
Currently touching stops movement but it gives crap about where that is.
