Mario Galaxy like gravity 2d asset
« on: March 05, 2021, 03:10:39 PM »
Hello,

I'm wondering what the best asset would be for a 2d version of Mario Galaxy. I would just need to walk around circles and jump from one to another. Keep in mind it is 2d. I tried making it in play maker, but I guess I'm not advanced enough yet :(
I know this isn't a playmaker thing, but if you can help anyways, that'd be great! Thanks!

My guess is that your Mario detects the closest of such a circle, shoot a ray in that direction and use that to turn Mario towards it. The basic principle could be taken from a tank / turret example. Then, you’d also apply forces towards that circle ground. There’s a long way to go still, but a starting point.
