There's a link to a zip file containing my XNA project and all images.

The Project so far is a mix of a couple of tutorials I found online (2d wizard and a tile engine) along with sprites I found online. I haven't made any of my own sprites yet cause I don't see the point until I have everything working, but I will be using all my own original sprites when it works.

Anyway.

so far it's a wizard who can jump and shoot fireballs. An enemy (currently commented out) walks across the screen, firballs dont do anything yet, but touching the enemy costs you a life.

My problem is with the platforms. I can jump onto the platforms ok, but if you jump while on the platforms you end up hanging in mid-air. I've tried incorporating a gravity effect, so when you move off the platforms you fall, but I haven't had any luck with it.

However I botched the check for 'on the ground' so even when he jumped, he was STILL on the ground for the purposes of the check... SO He never jumped.

Anyone know anything about how to get platforms to work?

My platform code:

public void OnPlatform()
{
foreach (KeyValuePair<string, Sprite.Sprite> aPlatform in mPlatforms)
{

//check if Wizard is on platform Y
if ((mWizard.Position.Y + mWizard.Height) <= aPlatform.Value.Position.Y)
/*(mWizard.Position.Y + mWizard.Height) <= (aPlatform.Value.Position.Y + aPlatform.Value.TextureHeight))*/
{

//check if wizard is on platform X
if ((mWizard.Position.X + mWizard.Width) >= aPlatform.Value.Position.X &&
(mWizard.Position.X) <= (aPlatform.Value.Position.X + aPlatform.Value.TextureWidth))
{
mWizard.Position = new Vector2(mWizard.Position.X, aPlatform.Value.Position.Y - mWizard.Height + 10);
mOnPlatform = true;

}

}//If the Wizard is on a platform

if (mWizard.Position.Y == 300)
{
mOnPlatform = true;
}

}
}
