The shaking is because the X/Y distance is less than the speed of the monster, so it tries to go, for example, up. Now the monster is ABOVE the player, not in the same Y coordinate, so it tries to go down. Repeat process = shake

About me

I have scratched for 7 years straight. No urge to do something to get popular. Friendly, I know Spanish (my native language) and English (and a bit of French). I like to program things I really like, not trends or things for contests.
EDIT: Yeah, I know it says I joined 4 years ago, but I scratched before going online.

Only move the monster if the difference between the monster x (or y, your description is unclear) and the player x is at least the distance you are going to move. That way you never overshoot.
