Dash, Double Jump & Wall Jump

Quest 3 of 8 on the Your First Game path → a finished game

The moves that turn a platformer into something you can be good at. You add a double jump for recovery and expression, an air dash with a cooldown and a one-per-airtime refresh, then a wall slide and a wall jump with a brief input lock so the kick reads as deliberate. Four moves, one expressive character.

1

Double Jump

Track air jumps with MAX_AIR_JUMPS and air_jumps_left, refresh them on the floor, and spend one for a mid-air boost.

2

The Air Dash

Register the dash input, then build a dash system with DASH_SPEED, a duration timer, a cooldown, and a one-per-airtime refresh.

3

Wall Slide

Detect a wall in the air with is_on_wall_only and get_wall_normal, then cap the fall speed while the player hugs it.

4

Wall Jump

Kick off the wall with a sideways push and an upward velocity, lock steering for a beat, and refresh the jump and dash.

Is This Quest For You?

Perfect for you if:

  • You finished the basic platformer controller and want more moves
  • You want movement that feels expressive, not just functional
  • You like understanding why a cooldown or input lock exists
  • You want a precision-platformer feel you can build levels around

Not for you if:

  • You haven't built a basic move-and-jump controller yet (start with Move & Jump)
  • You want 3D or top-down movement
  • You only want a finished project to download
  • You're looking for combat or netcode
