(fyi. only the blue character will be moved with arrow keys.)

Cool,I like the characters

Hey ztg, great job on this one. My son and I just played a bunch of games of this - two players is really fun.

The improvements that I can think of offhand would be to maybe:

  1. make the blue NPC stop moving when he is close to the ball position, so he doesn’t shake back and forth when he’s directly underneath.

  2. Maybe make the blue NPC randomly jump every once in a while, to make him a little bit less predictable. Not sure how well this would work, but it’s just something you might want to try.

how do I do what u first suggested to make the character stop rapidly shaking @grazer

So as an example you could look at the Monkey’s behaviors here: http://flowlab.io/game/view/859

What I did to fix the problem was to compare the player’s current position (extract x) with the target position (mouse x in my example). If the difference is greater than one, then turn on a switch that lets him move, otherwise turn the switch off so he sits still.

THANKS so much!!

AI is impressive

Thanks!! @Cburridge
