Hello!
Can somene point me an example (or clarify) on how to make a similar platform movement like in "doodle jump"?
I'm with problems on two things at the moment:
1- Random platform generate
2- Smooth and infinite scroll down of the platforms
For the platform scroll I'm using the Object Mover.
If it is of some help I can upload the .mfa to a file archive topic.
Thanks in advance!
I have never played Doodle Jump, so I'm basing this example on the few seconds of gameplay I viewed on Youtube:

I was gonna post but I'm guessing that example probably answered your question. You might wanna put a cap on x velocity for that example though. Holding either left or right provides some funny yet undesirable results. :)
Hehe... Eliyahu said something similar. I actually made it that way after seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsSNUVfSgxc
I made a newer version that centers the x velocity when the player isn't holding a key, with a wider playfield, and it has destructible platforms. However, I actually prefer the version posted here. :D Haha
Thank you all for the help!
I added inside the "repeat while Player moved right" this:
"X Velocity of Character < 10"
and inside the "repeat while Player moved left"
"X Velocity of Character > -10"
so the character don't "accelerate" to infinite :D
mojofltr: You did a great job "cloning" what you saw in the video :D
Could you please post the updated version of your doodle jump example? I'm particulary curious about the destructible platforms.
Again, thanks for your help!

Create a game like as "Doodle Jump" may violate some copyright?
If you use their characters or a similar name, probably. Frankly, I don't think the gameplay is all that original. xD
kkkk just is fear of lawsuit :P

Sunflat's PapiJump came before Lima Sky's Doodle Jump and before both, in an ancient age (I played it a lot, yay!), there was Q*Bert (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-LR3036LuI)
Lima Sky tried to sue everyone that had an app named "Doodle" but with no success (thanks God).
I used Doodle Jump as an example because lots of people know this game (I'm pretty sure that PapiJump wouldn't ring any bell) but I have no intent on building a "Doodle Clone" or something like that. :D
mojofltr : Again, a big THANK YOU for your help!
For everyone else who cared to answer a big THANK YOU too!
You don't need to worry about a lawsuit at all imo. I've seen at least 5 other games with gameplay almost identical to 'doodle jump', including the game icy tower (which I believe released it's first version around 10 years ago). I doubt that was the first of it's kind either.
Yep - the last one by sega... ^^
