Platform Widget - Contest Entry

[Jacob]

My fix was to make it easier to use. It is more difficult from a developing perspective, but for someone who just grabs the widget and wants it to work, well, the only values that you can edit without clicking 'New' are the ones that appear the moment you click over to the apt menu in the properties. The values you edit remain named. This was intended to make it a bit more user-friendly.

Attached I have put a new version with the events named. Although not my intention at the start, this might be even better than my original plan. The values not to be edited remain at the bottom.

The original version says that its file size is 0 bytes. Does anyone have the original file, or is Jacob's latest version a good modification?

Here you go

Thanks! Which version do you prefer, by the way? Nifflas' version or Jacob's version?

Trying to get me in trouble happygreenfrog? Oh wait...I can do that on my own. I really think that would be a user's preference, with my say so meaning very little. I prefer Jacob's mod, as I seem to be able to understand it better.

If you're going with mine, use the second one I posted. Nifflas was absolutely right about the first one, and it was a bad idea. The only thing I really changed was rearranging the alterable values so that the ones you can play with to alter the physics starts at A and works its way down and the ones that the engine handles behind the scenes start at Z and work their way up. That's the way I code all my engines, and it keeps things nice and organised.

Okay. I remember downloading the second one you uploaded, so I think I have the right version.

[Jacob]

It's the one with all 26 alterable values visible in the properties list and named appropriately.

[happygreenfrog]

Yes, that's the one I have.

The latest update (257.22) completely breaks this widget (Nifflas' version). Take a look, it completely destroys it, both keys move the character right (sometimes at intense speeds) and the jump is broken. It seems like something has gone very wrong with negative decimals in the newest update... I've reported the bug but you guys might be able to help spot exactly what has changed to cause the issue.
