Platformer controls

[Chris_XD]

How do I code buttons to move a lil sprite for a platformer? (think of Super Mario Bros)

I’m making a 2D platformer (How do you make a Ball or Sprite 'jump'?)

You can't loop to wait. Here is a relevant project from the defunct Scott Ferguson graphics library: https://groups.google.com/g/app-inventor-developers-library/c/aPctM06_Kuo GravityExercise.aia (4.4 KB) [blocks] (My attempts at flinging with a trackball were mostly futile, but I got a bounce or two out of it.)

so, are you trying to make is so if you hit a button your ball goes up then slowly comes down until it collides with a sprite?
