A small platformer engine using BG tiles. It's a bit barebones, and there's still a few kinks to work out, but overall you could logically learn from this if you don't know how to work BG tiles with this kind of stuff.

Notes[]
- The enemy is incomplete. It sends you incredibly high, walks infinitely, and will crash the game if you try and attack it.
- The lower screen contains debug info. The meaning of each line is as follows:
- X: The character's X coordinate
- Y: The character's Y coordinate
- XVEL: The character's X velocity (for physics and such)
- YVEL: The character's Y velocity (for physics and such)
- B: The button code being held
- AIR: Flag determining whether the character is in the air
- LIM: Limiter for the maximum and minimum XVEL values; 1 when not holding the run button and 2 when holding the run button
- XSPD: How much XVEL is modified; 0.1 when not holding the run button and 0.2 when holding the run button
- U: BG tile above the player
- D: BG tile below the player
- LU: BG tile on the higher half of the left side
- LD: BG tile on the lower half of the left side
- RU: BG tile on the higher half of the right side
- RD: BG tile on the lower half of the right side
