How do i make a character jump, (such as mario) smoothly(Like in archmage's super smash bros)with no variables(ouch!)

Its kind of possible, but not worth it. You need to make the sprite move higher in decreasing amounts then fall with increasing amounts. But if you want to try and avoid using variables you will never be half decent with any kind of programming.

Why the "no variables" limitation?

Maybe because with here smash bros game she thinks there are too many variables?

Remember samurai, you can never have too many variables.

variables are complicated but worth it. it's more of a shortcut to use variables then to not use them. smile

Shortcuts are nice, but don't get carried away. My brother wanted me to check if there was a faster way to do something, and I found one - but it involved redoing the script some. But it saved a lot of space! smile

Note: Grr! No actual dashes! Just hyphens!

If a game uses a lot of variables it becomes easier to create sprite specific variables and give them distinctive names smile

Makes that loooonnnggg lists tidier smile

Some of my newer projects actually have silly named variables just because it helps me know which is which xD Eg: instead of Jump 1: JumpyJump

Just use variables, you'll get inevicient jumping without them

It sounds impossible, but I'll give it a try. You'll hear from me later.

Well...you could cheat and do it by using Pen Color as a variable smile
