A player character

The player character will be doing simple things such as killing the enemy, jumping, and walking towards the left or right, making it spawn, and also colliding with the platform.

---set the player's collider box left, Right and height spaces

playerCollideboxL = 8

playerCollideboxR = 8

playerCollideboxY = 4

The player spawn function binds the collider with the player's left, right, and height space parameters. Our player is size 32:

function PlayerSpawn(x,y)

   local left = x + playerCollideboxL
   local right = 32 
   local height = 32 - playerCollideboxY

1. Create a table to hold all the player's necessary properties:

   player = {} 
   player.name="player"
   
   ---player left
   player.l=x
   
   --player bottom space
   
   player.t=y+playerCollideboxY
   
   --player right space
   
   player.w=right
   
   --player height
   player.h=height
   --current layer's velocity (vY) in the Y axis
   player.vY=0
   --player's current direction
   
   player.dir=1

2. Add player to bump, so the player can collide too:

   bump.add(player)
   
   --where...
