7. Physics: Falling Objects > Time for action – moving the character
Eggs will be falling in all different areas of the screen from the sky. Let's prepare our main character to move through all potential areas on te screen.
- Set up a new local function called
moveChar()with aneventparameter.local moveChar = function(event)
- Add in the accelerometer movement for the character.
charObject.x = display.contentCenterX - (display.contentCenterX * (event.yGravity * 3)) - Create character boundaries where they moves on the screen. This enables the character to stay within the game screen and not go past the offscreen boundaries.
if((charObject.x - charObject.width * 0.5) < 0) then charObject.x = charObject.width * 0.5 elseif((charObject.x + charObject.width * 0.5) > display.contentWidth) then charObject.x = display.contentWidth - charObject.width * 0.5 end end
