drmcw

would be a start for you, however I'm sure you'll soon find issues with it. You then need to rethink how you do the program, so look in the sticky topics and it should give you some ideas.

Depends. If you want to actually jump, then what drmcw suggested would be best. Otherwise (like if it's a top-down game) you could cheat like Zelda: A Link to the Past did and just have a shadow that moves in and out. Basically it would work like this - look at the scripts for Sprite8, which are also below:

Notice the

block- this will theoretically help disable collision detection. For instance:

There are many, many ways of making a sprite jump. In my opinion, the simulated parabola and the cosine wave method are the most accurate, but this is an easy method to get you started:

A simple, but well- animated way to have a character jump would be this:

Hope you make a great game!

I looked at your project. It looked like Pico was always jumping a short distance (which looked like a vibration). I did a quick remix using the up arrow to control the jump and simulated gravity to fall back down. Hope this is helpful.
