005 : Player meets platform

You:

OK, so let's move the player down onto the platform.

Balthazar:

Do you have an idea on how to do that?

You:

Well, I already set the _player.x and _player.y value to 0 in init_player(). I can just change those values can't I?

Balthazar:

Correct. What should you change them to?

You:

I can leave the x value as 0, but I need to change the y value to the top of the platform, which is 360, right?

script.js: Move the player's starting y-position down to the platform.

function init_player() { _player.x = 0;

_player.y = 0;

_player.y = 360; _player.width = 20; _player.height = 20; ... }

Balthazar:

Let's try that and see what happens.

You:

Uh-oh, that doesn't sound promising.

You:

Hey, the player is drawn under the platform. That's not right!
