Thread: Making Slopes for a Platformer Game

Hi, I'm having trouble making slopes for a 2D platformer game in Java. How would I go about making them? Do I just subtract 1 pixel from y for every x pixel moved (and tweak it for other angles) or what, cause I haven't been able to find any tutorials on YouTube.

Depends on how you are creating graphics. The Graphics class has a drawLine method.

I'm using an object based system heavily inspired by the tile based systems of retro platformers, is there a way to make an objects collision size a triangle instead of only squares like I'm doing now?

Well, I'm still having trouble with this, so I thought I would bump this thread instead of making a new one. Here's the code I'm using:

In the method that checks if the character is colliding with the floor

	if (Frame.dir>=0){
						tiley=Level.tile.get(f).y;
						isTouchingFloor=true;
						y=slopetemp;
						return false;
						}
						if (Frame.dir<0){
							//y=slopetemp;
							return false;
							}
						if (Frame.dir==0){
							//y=slopetemp;
							return true;
							}

and the one for walls

if (Frame.dir>0){
					slopex=Level.tile.get(g).x;
					System.out.println(slopex);
					//slopey=y;
					System.out.println(x+16);
					slopetemp=y-(x+16-slopex);
					//System.out.println(slopetemp);
					y=slopetemp;
					return false;
					}
					if (Frame.dir<0){
						slopex=Level.tile.get(g).x;
						//slopey=y;
						//x-=Frame.dir;
						//slopetemp=y+(x-slopex);
						System.out.println(slopetemp);
						//y+=Frame.dir;
						return false;
						}
					if (Frame.dir==0){
 
					}
