Tutorial - Proximity-triggered falling nasties in MPAGD

[Minilop]

...well I couldn't think of a better name for them. But these are hazards that fall from the ceiling just as the player is about to walk under them.  Here's a tutorial, with video and fully commented code, on how to add them to your games:

Es una iniciativa encomiable y generosa por tu parte. He visto mecánicas en tu juego que me encantará descubrir. También estoy aprendiendo cómo monetizar un proyecto. Aprendo mucho en este foro. "A tope con tu proyecto!"

For the falling spike balls in Sophia and the weights in the third part of Sophia II I used a similar technique, but with FALL instead of the triple CANGODOWN. FALL will make the object accelerate, which is more realistic in my opinion, instead of moving at a constant speed as with CANGODOWN.

Thanks for sharing the code anyway.

Yes, that is a good point Alessandro, I'll add a note in the tutorial about using FALL as an alternative (I think you meant SPRITEDOWN not CANGODOWN)

Yes sorry, I meant SPRITEDOWN
