the prompt (identical for every model)
`Ledge` is a very small platformer in this directory. It runs, but it is broken and the level
cannot be completed. Here is the bug report:
1. **You sink into platforms.** Land on a ledge and the player slowly settles down into it,
then drops through the bottom.
2. **You fall through platforms when moving fast.** Coming down from a high jump, the player
often passes straight through a thin ledge instead of landing on it.
3. **The wall is not solid.** The tall block in the middle of the level can be walked straight
through.
4. **The flag never triggers.** Standing on the top-right ledge at the flag does nothing; the
win message never appears.
5. **Everything runs at a different speed on different machines** — the game is faster on a
144Hz monitor than on a 60Hz one.
## What to do
**First, fix those five bugs** so the level is completable: jump the ledges, be stopped by the
wall, and reach the flag.
**Then make the jump feel good.** Right now it is stiff. Add, at minimum:
- **Variable jump height** — a short tap jumps lower than a held press.
- **Coyote time** — a few frames of grace to still jump just after walking off an edge.
- **Jump buffering** — pressing jump slightly before landing still jumps on touchdown.
Tune the numbers until it feels right rather than just implementing the words.
## Constraints
- Keep the level layout, the art, the colours and the controls exactly as they are. This is a
physics repair, not a redesign, and not a new game.
- Keep it to the existing three files. No libraries, no network.
- The player must never end up inside a platform, stuck on a wall, or able to leave the canvas.
When you are done, write a short list of what you changed and why.

Let me analyze the bugs. Bug 1: Sinking into platforms. The collision check: `feetInside = player.y + player.h > p.y && player.y + player.h < p.y + p.h`. When feet are inside the platform, it sets vy = 0 and onGround = true, but does NOT snap the player's position to the top of the platform. So next frame gravity adds vy again, player moves down further into the platform, vy reset to 0 each frame... Actually vy is set to 0 each frame, but then `player.vy += GRAVITY` before moving, so player moves down by GRAVITY each frame → sinks 0.9 px per frame until feet no longer inside (i.e., passes through bottom). Yes, that's the sinking bug. Fix: snap position to top of platform (player.y = p.y - player.h) and vy = 0. Bug 2: Tunneling when moving fast. vy can be large (e.g., from a high jump, vy up to ~13+ ... falling from y=125 to y=440 → v = sqrt(2*0.9*315) ≈ 23.8 px/frame). A 16px-thick ledge can be passed through in one frame. Fix: swept/continuous collision — check whether the player crossed the platform top during the movement (previous bottom <= p.y and new bottom >= p.y), i.e., use previous position. Or do substepping with a fixed timestep. Best: fixed timestep with substeps + swept collision test. Bug 3: Wall not solid. There's no horizontal collision at all. Fix: resolve X movement against platforms (push out to left or right side depending on direction of approach). Bug 4: Flag never triggers. `if (player.x > goal.x + goal.w && player.y + player.h < goal.y) won = true;` — the goal is at x 730..750, w 20; the ledge is x 680..800, y 165. Player standing on ledge: feet at y=165, so player.y = 129, player.y + player.h = 165 which is NOT < goal.y (125). So condition never true. Also player.x > 750 requires being to the right of the flag. Fix: overlap test between player rect and goal rect (or standing on the ledge near the flag). I'll use AABB overlap with the goal region. Bug 5: Frame-rate dependence. requestAnimationFrame-based update with per-frame constants → 144Hz runs faster. Fix: fixed-timestep accumulator (e.g., 1/60 s steps), with clamped dt to avoid spiral of death. Then jump feel: variable jump height (release early → cut vy, e.g., vy *= 0.45 when jump released while vy < 0), coyote time (~6 frames / 100ms), jump buffering (~8 frames / 130ms). Also maybe add slight air control difference, landing snap. Keep controls the same. Also "The player must never end up inside a platform, stuck on a wall, or able to leave the canvas." So need robust collision resolution: resolve X first then Y (or Y then X) with proper ordering, plus a final "unstick" pass that pushes the player out of any platform it's inside. Let me think about the level layout and whether it's completable with the physics numbers. Platforms: 1. ground: x0..800, y440..480 2. ledge A: x150..280, y370..386 3. wall: x300..320, y230..440 4. ledge B: x360..490, y300..316 5. ledge C: x545..665, y235..251 6. ledge D: x680..800, y165..181 Goal: x730..750, y125..165 (flag pole drawn from y125 to 165, sitting on top of ledge D at y165). Player: 24x36. Jump velocity -13, gravity 0.9 → max jump height = v²/(2g) = 169/1.8 = 93.9 px. Time to apex = 13/0.9 ≈ 14.4 frames. Horizontal speed 4 → horizontal distance during full jump ≈ 4*28.9 ≈ 115 px. Path: spawn at (40, 380), feet at 416, ground top at 440. So player starts 24px above ground → falls to ground. Jump from ground to ledge A (top y=370): need to raise feet from 440 to 370 = 70 px. Max jump 93.9 → fine. Horizontal: from x=40 to ledge A x range 150..280. Player must be at x ≥ 150-24 = 126 to overlap... Actually overlapsX: player.x + w > p.x && player.x < p.x + p.w → player.x > 126. Fine. Then from ledge A top (370) to ledge B top (300): rise 70 px, horizontal gap: ledge A ends at 280, ledge B starts at 360. Player standing on A at x up to 280 (player.x max 280 for feet on A? player.x < 280 and player.x+24 > 150). Jump from x≈278 to reach ledge B: need player.x + 24 > 360 → x > 360-24 = 336. Distance 336-278 = 58 px horizontally while rising 70 px. Time to rise 70px: solve 13t - 0.45t² = 70 → 0.45t² -13t +70 = 0 → t = (13 ± sqrt(169-126))/0.9 = (13 ± 6.557)/0.9 → t = 7.16 frames (rising). Horizontal distance in 7.16 frames at 4 px/frame = 28.6 px. Hmm, that's less than 58. But the player continues rising to apex at 93.9 px at t=14.4, then falls back. At what time is the player at height 70 above on the way down? t = (13+6.557)/0.9 = 21.7 frames. Horizontal distance = 86.9 px. So the player can reach x = 278+86.9 = 365 > 336 while descending onto ledge B... wait, but at t=21.7 the player is descending at height 70 above the take-off point, and it needs to land on ledge B whose top is 70 above take-off. Landing means feet cross y=300 from above going down. At t=21.7 feet are at 300 descending. Player x = 278 + 86.9 = 365. Overlap with ledge B requires player.x < 490 and player.x+24 > 360 → x > 336. So x=365 works. Good — landing near the left edge of ledge B. But wait — the wall! Wall x300..320, y230..440 (top at 230). Jumping from ledge A at x=278 to the right, the player's right edge at x+24 = 302 already overlaps the wall's x-range at start... Player standing on ledge A: player.x can be up to just under 280 (since ledge A ends at 280). Actually the player can walk right on ledge A until its left edge... hmm, the wall is at x300..320 and ledge A ends at 280. Player on ledge A can move right until player.x + 24 > 280 → feet no longer overlap ledge A → falls. Actually feet overlap requires player.x < 280. So the player can stand with x from 150-24=126 up to 279.9. At x=279.9, right edge = 303.9, which overlaps the wall x-range (300..320). The wall spans y 230..440; the player standing on ledge A has body y 334..370, which is within the wall's y range. So the wall blocks the player from going past... The player's right edge hits the wall at player.x = 276 (right edge 300). So the player standing on ledge A is blocked by the wall at x=276. Then jumping from x=276: horizontal reach to land on B: need x > 336 at the time feet descend to y=300. From x=276, at t=21.7 → x = 276+86.9 = 362.9 > 336. But wait — during the jump, does the player hit the wall? The wall top is at y=230. The player jumping from ledge A (feet 370, body 334..370) rises up to 93.9 px → feet at 276, body 240..276. The wall spans y 230..440, x 300..320. So while rising, the player's body at x 276..300 → right edge 300 exactly at wall's left face. As the player rises above y=230 region... Let's check: at apex, feet at 276, top at 240 — still below wall top 230? 240 > 230 means the body top is below the wall top (y increases downward). So the player's body is entirely below the wall top (y from 240 to 276, wall from 230 to 440). So the player is beside the wall, not above it. So the player cannot clear the wall by jumping from ledge A. It must land on ledge B (top 300) which is to the right of the wall (ledge B x360..490, wall ends at 320). Gap between wall right face (320) and ledge B left edge (360) = 40 px. So the jump from ledge A: the player is blocked at x=276 by the wall (right edge at 300). It jumps, moves right, but its right edge hits the wall — it slides along the wall face while airborne. Then it descends... at x=276 (blocked), feet descend to y=300 at x=276..300 — that's not over ledge B (360..490). It would fall past y=300 down to... it would land back on ledge A or the ground. Hmm. So the player needs to jump higher/farther to clear the wall? Let's reconsider: to get past the wall, the player must get its body entirely above the wall top (y=230) — i.e., feet above 230 — while moving right past x=320. Feet start at 370 on ledge A. Rise needed: 370-230 = 140 px. Max jump height 93.9. Not possible from ledge A. Alternative: jump from the ground? Ground top 440 → need 210 px rise. No. Hmm, so with JUMP_VELOCITY -13 and GRAVITY 0.9, the level is not completable? Let's check the whole chain: - Ground (440) → ledge A (370): 70 rise ✓ - ledge A (370) → ledge B (300): 70 rise ✓ but must clear the wall... Actually wait. Does the player need to clear the wall? Ledge B is at x360..490, to the right of the wall (300..320). To land on ledge B, the player must pass x > 336 while feet are at/below... hmm, the player must get past the wall's x-range 300..320. If the player is at feet y=300 (body 264..300), the wall spans 230..440, so the body is within the wall's y-range → the wall blocks it. To pass over the wall, the player's feet must be above 230 while crossing x 300..320. Feet at 230 means rise of 140 from ledge A. Not possible with max 93.9. Hmm, so maybe the intended fix includes adjusting jump numbers so the level is completable. The task says "fix those five bugs so the level is completable: jump the ledges, be stopped by the wall, and reach the flag" and "Tune the numbers until it feels right". So we're allowed to tune physics constants (gravity, jump velocity, move speed) — that's physics, not level layout. The constraint is to keep level layout, art, colours, controls. So I need to choose jump velocity/gravity/move speed such that the level is completable with reasonable margins. Let's design the jump chain: - Ground 440 → ledge A 370: rise 70, horizontal from spawn x=40 to x≥126. - Ledge A 370 → ledge B 300: rise 70, and must clear the wall top at 230? Hmm wait — actually, does the player need to clear the wall to get to ledge B? Let me reconsider: the wall's top is at y=230, ledge B's top is at y=300. Ledge B starts at x=360. The wall occupies x 300..320. To get from left of the wall to ledge B, the player must cross x range 300..320 at a height where the body is above the wall top (feet ≤ 230) — since ledge B top (300) is below the wall top (230)... wait, y=300 > 230, so ledge B's surface is *below* the wall top. So the player crossing at feet=300 would collide with the wall. Unless... the player lands on top of the wall! Wall top at 230, wall spans x300..320 (20 px wide), player is 24 px wide. Landing on a 20px-wide wall with a 24px-wide player: possible if the player's feet overlap the wall's x-range. With proper collision, the player can stand on the wall top (feet at 230, body 194..230). Then jump from the wall top (feet 230) to ledge B (top 300) — that's a drop, easy. So the intended route: ground → ledge A → wall top (230) → ledge B (300) → ledge C (235) → ledge D (165) → flag. Hmm, but jumping from ledge A (feet 370) onto the wall top (feet 230) requires a 140 px rise. Max jump height must be > 140 plus the player must reach x 300..320 region. From ledge A the player is already at x up to 276 (blocked by wall). Its right edge at 300. To land on the wall top, the player's feet must overlap x 300..320 → player.x + 24 > 300 → x > 276, and player.x < 320. So the player needs to rise 140 px and move right slightly. But the wall blocks horizontal movement below y=230: the player at x=276 with right edge 300 is touching the wall. To get feet above 230, the player must rise while blocked horizontally, then move right over the top. At apex with rise 140+, feet at ≤230, then the player can move right (no longer blocked since body is above the wall). Then descend onto the wall top. That requires max jump height > 140 with a bit of margin, and precise control. That's tight. Alternatively, maybe the intended route is: ledge A → ledge B directly, with the wall being lower... but the wall is 230..440, ledge B top 300. Hmm. Wait, maybe I should reconsider: maybe the intended route goes over the wall top. Let's compute required jump heights for the full route: - Ground (440) → ledge A (370): 70 - ledge A (370) → wall top (230): 140 - wall top (230) → ledge B (300): drop, easy (horizontal gap 320→360 = 40) - ledge B (300) → ledge C (235): rise 65, horizontal gap 490→545 = 55 - ledge C (235) → ledge D (165): rise 70, horizontal gap 665→680 = 15 - ledge D → flag at x730..750, standing on ledge D. So the hardest single jump is 140 rise (ledge A → wall top). Hmm, that's a big jump. Alternatively, is there another route? What about jumping from the ground to ledge B? Ground 440 → 300 = 140 rise, and ledge B x360..490 is right of the wall. From the ground left of the wall (x < 276), jump up 140... at feet=300 while crossing the wall region — blocked. Same problem. Hmm, what about going up: ground → ledge A → wall top. Actually maybe the intended route is ledge A → wall top → ledge B. With max jump height ~150-160, that's feasible. Let me reconsider: maybe with a taller jump, e.g., JUMP_VELOCITY = -16, GRAVITY = 0.9 → height = 256/1.8 = 142. Too tight. JUMP_VELOCITY = -17 → 289/1.8 = 160.5. Hmm. But careful: variable jump height means a full hold gives max height. Let's pick numbers with generous margins: max height ~170-180 px. Let's think about horizontal distances too. With MOVE_SPEED = 4 and jump time-of-flight. Let me define physics in terms of a fixed timestep of 1/60 s, and express velocities in px/step. Let's design: - GRAVITY = 0.85 px/step² (at 60Hz: 3060 px/s²) - JUMP_VELOCITY = -17.5 → height = 306.25/1.7 = 180 px. Time to apex = 20.6 steps, total airtime 41 steps → horizontal reach at speed 4.2 = 173 px. Hmm, that's a very floaty big jump. Maybe better: keep gravity higher for snappiness: GRAVITY = 1.0, JUMP_VELOCITY = -19 → height = 361/2 = 180.5, time to apex 19 steps (0.317s), airtime 0.63s. That's a decent platformer jump (jump height 180 px on a 480 px canvas is huge though — the player is 36 px tall; 180 px = 5 player heights. Hmm, that's quite big but the level demands 140 rise minimum.) Hmm, wait. Let me reconsider whether the level really requires 140. Maybe the intended route is different. Let me re-examine the geometry: ledge A: x150..280, y370. Wall: x300..320, y230..440. Ledge B: x360..490, y300. Hmm, what if the player is allowed to land on the wall top from ledge B side... no, we go left to right. Actually, maybe the intended route is: ground → ledge A → wall top → ledge B → ledge C → ledge D. The wall top at 230 is exactly the same height as ledge C top (235). And ledge A→wall top is 140. Alternatively: ground → ledge A (370) → ... hmm what about jumping from the ground onto ledge B? Blocked by wall as computed. So minimum rise capability must exceed 140 px, with margin for error (the player must also clear the wall's top edge, i.e., feet above 230 while crossing x 300..320, and then land on the 20px-wide wall top — actually landing on the wall top is optional; the player could jump from ledge A all the way over the wall to ledge B if it can rise 140 and travel horizontally enough: from x=276 (blocked at wall face) rise to feet=230 (140 up), then continue right past the wall... Let's compute: to land on ledge B (top 300) with feet crossing 300 while x > 336. With max height H (rise from take-off feet level 370): apex feet y = 370 - H. For the player to pass over the wall, apex feet must be < 230, i.e., H > 140. Then the player descends; at the moment feet reach 300 (on the way down), horizontal distance traveled from take-off x. Take-off at x=276 (blocked by wall until feet clear 230). Hmm, actually the player is blocked at x=276 while its body overlaps the wall's y-range. Body top = feet - 36. Body overlaps wall y-range [230,440] when feet-36 < 440 and feet > 230. So the player is blocked while feet > 230. Once feet < 230, it can move right freely. So the trajectory: jump from ledge A at x=276, rise. While feet > 230, horizontal movement is blocked (pressing right pushes into the wall). Once feet < 230 (near apex), move right at 4 px/step. Then descend to feet=300 and land on ledge B if x+24 > 360 → x > 336. Time from feet=230 (rising) to feet=300 (falling): Let's parametrize with H. Rise phase: v0, g. Feet height above take-off h(t) = v0 t - 0.5 g t². Max H = v0²/(2g). Time when h = 140 (rising): t1. Time when h = 140 again (falling): t2. Between t1 and t2 the player can move right. But actually the player can only move right when feet < 230 i.e. h > 140. During that window, horizontal distance = 4*(t2 - t1) roughly (if it was blocked before t1 and pressing right the whole time). Need x from 276 to >336 → 60 px → t2 - t1 > 15 steps. h(t) = 140 at t1, t2. t2 - t1 = 2*sqrt(2(H-140)/g). Need > 15 → sqrt(2(H-140)/g) > 7.5 → 2(H-140)/g > 56.25 → H - 140 > 28.1 g. With g = 1.0 → H > 168. With g = 0.9 → H > 155.6. Alternatively, landing on the wall top (20 px wide, x300..320) is easier: the player needs feet to cross y=230 while player.x in (276, 320). Since the player is blocked at x=276 while rising, at apex it moves right; then descends onto the wall top. It needs feet to descend to 230 with x in 276..320 — that's a 44 px window, quite forgiving. But landing on a 20-wide wall with a 24-wide player means the player overhangs; fine. Hmm, but there's a subtlety: if the player is above the wall and descends with x such that only part of its width overlaps the wall top, we resolve to stand on top. Good. But if the player's body is beside the wall (feet below 230) and overlapping x, we push it out horizontally. Need careful collision resolution to avoid getting stuck inside. Let me pick a robust approach: Fixed timestep: STEP = 1/60 s. Accumulator with max substeps. Physics per step (units: px per step): - gravity G - move speed S (ground), maybe slightly lower air control? Keep simple: same speed, maybe air acceleration. Keep it simple: instant velocity but with a small acceleration for feel? The task says make the jump feel good; horizontal smoothing isn't required. I'll add a bit of acceleration/friction for ground movement to feel nicer — but careful: adding acceleration reduces max horizontal speed reachability. I'll keep MOVE_SPEED as max speed with quick accel (e.g., 0.6 px/step² ... hmm). Let's keep it simple and predictable: direct velocity setting (arcade feel), which is what the original had. Maybe add slight air control retention. I'll keep direct control — it's the most reliable for completing the level. Actually a nicer feel: ground acceleration with friction. But risk: level completability depends on horizontal reach. With instant response, reach is maximal. I'll do instant-ish: vx set directly. That preserves the original controls feel and guarantees reach. Hmm, but "make the jump feel good" — I can add: variable jump height (jump cut on release), coyote time, jump buffering, plus: - a small jump "hold" boost? No, keep it simple. - faster fall than rise (common good-feel trick): gravity multiplier when falling (e.g., 1.2x) — but that changes max height calc? No, only descent. It makes the jump snappier and reduces floatiness. But it affects horizontal reach during descent (shorter airtime). Need to recompute reach. - apex gravity reduction (float near apex) — makes control easier at the top, which helps clear the wall. Actually that's a nice trick: lower gravity near apex extends the hang time, giving more horizontal control near the top. But it complicates the math. Let me just carefully pick numbers and verify with a simulation. I can write a Node script to simulate the physics and verify the level is completable with a scripted input plan. That's a great idea: I can write a headless test harness in Node that imports the physics logic (or duplicates it) and simulates a play-through. Since game.js is a browser script using `document`, I can't import it directly in Node... but I could structure game.js so the physics is testable? The constraint says keep to the existing three files. I could write a temporary test script that extracts the physics portion via regex, or I could just copy the physics constants and functions into a temp test file (outside the three files, then delete it). Actually the instruction says "Keep it to the existing three files" for the game; a temporary test file that I delete afterwards should be fine. But "Do not leave any background process running" — a temp test file is fine, but let me delete it at the end to keep the directory clean. Hmm, maybe keep it? Better to delete it — the deliverable is three files. Approach: write game.js with the physics in a way that a Node harness can load by stubbing `document`, `canvas`, `requestAnimationFrame`, `addEventListener`. Actually simplest: in the test harness, define globals `document`, `addEventListener`, `requestAnimationFrame` stubs, then `require`/eval the game.js file content. Then call exported functions? game.js doesn't export anything. I could use `vm` module to run the file in a context with stubs and then access the context's variables (player, platforms, keys, update, reset). That works: vm.createContext with stubs, runInContext(code), then context.player, context.keys, context.update etc. That's a solid plan for verifying completability. Let me do that. Now design the physics. Units: I'll use per-second units with fixed dt = 1/60? Or per-step units like the original? Using per-step units keeps the original numbers' spirit (GRAVITY 0.9, MOVE_SPEED 4, JUMP_VELOCITY -13) but the fixed timestep makes them frame-rate independent. I'll keep per-step constants with STEP = 1/60 s, and document that they're per 1/60 s step. Now choose values: Requirement: max jump height H > ~170 to comfortably clear the wall (need >168 for the direct over-the-wall route; landing on the wall top needs H > 140 + margin). Hmm, wait. Let me reconsider the route. Is landing on the wall top intended? The wall is 20 px wide, top at y=230. Standing on a 20px post with a 24px player is a bit awkward but fine. Then from the wall top, jump right to ledge B (top 300, x360..490): drop of 70, gap 40 px — trivial. Alternatively, from ledge A jump over the wall to ledge B directly requires H ≳ 170. Let me consider making the jump generous: JUMP_VELOCITY = -18, GRAVITY = 1.0 → H = 162. Hmm, that's < 168 for the direct route but > 140 for the wall-top route. With apex float or a slightly lower fall gravity... Let's just aim for the wall-top route plus also allow the direct route with a good run-up. Actually, hmm, wait. Let me reconsider the wall-blocking geometry. When the player is rising alongside the wall and its feet pass above 230, the body (feet-36 .. feet) is above the wall top when feet ≤ 230. But the blocking check happens per step; the player at x=276 (right edge 300) rising: at some step feet goes from 232 to 228 (with vy ≈ -4 near apex... near apex vy is small, so it crosses slowly). Once feet < 230, no overlap with the wall → free to move right. Then it can move right up to... it's above the wall, then descends. If it descends while x+24 > 300 and x < 320 → it lands on the wall top (feet snap to 230). Good. But careful: if the player moves right too far while above the wall and descends past the wall's x-range... e.g., x = 300 (right edge 324 > 320, left edge 300 < 320) → still overlaps wall x-range → lands on top. To land on ledge B (x360..490), need x > 336 while descending past y=300... but wait, if the player is at x=336 (right edge 360), it doesn't overlap the wall (300..320) — good, and it overlaps ledge B if x+24 > 360 → x > 336. So the player must travel from x=276 to x>336 (60 px) while above the wall (feet < 230), i.e., during the window where h > 140. As computed, that window duration = 2*sqrt(2(H-140)/g). For H=162, g=1: 2*sqrt(2*22/1) = 2*6.63 = 13.3 steps → 53 px at speed 4. Not enough for the direct route (needs 60 px + margin). So with H=162 the direct route fails but the wall-top landing route works. Wall-top route: from x=276, rise above 230, move right a bit (say 10-20 px), descend onto the wall top. Very forgiving. Then from the wall top (feet 230) jump right to ledge B: with full jump H=162 from feet 230, apex feet at 68; then descend to 300 while moving right at 4 px/step. Time from 230 to 300 falling... plenty. Horizontal distance from x=320 to x=360 is 40 px = 10 steps. Easy. Then ledge B (300) → ledge C (235): rise 65 ≤ 162 ✓. Horizontal: from x=490 (right edge of ledge B; player can stand up to x=489.9, right edge 513.9) to ledge C x545..665: need x+24 > 545 → x > 521 → 31 px while rising 65. Easy. Ledge C (235) → ledge D (165): rise 70 ✓. Horizontal: ledge C ends at 665; player max x on C = 664 (right edge 688). Ledge D starts at 680: need x+24 > 680 → x > 656 — already satisfied! So the player can just jump up from x=656..664 and land on D. Easy. Then on ledge D, walk right to the flag at x730..750 → win. Also, is there a risk the player gets stuck between the wall and ledge B? No. Now, what about the ground → ledge A jump: rise 70 ✓. OK so the key requirement: H ≥ ~155 to comfortably clear the wall from ledge A (need feet above 230 with margin, i.e., H > 140 + ~10). Let's target H ≈ 165-175 for margin, while keeping the jump not too floaty. Let's think about feel. A good platformer jump: rise time ~0.25-0.35 s, jump height ~2-4 player heights. Player is 36 px. H=170 is 4.7 player heights — big but the level demands it (140 minimum rise). Let's pick: GRAVITY_RISE = 1.05, GRAVITY_FALL = 0.95? Hmm, asymmetric gravity complicates. Let's instead use: G = 1.0, JUMP_V = -18.5 → H = 342.25/2 = 171. Rise time 18.5 steps = 0.31 s. Total airtime ~0.62 s. Max horizontal reach at speed 4.5 = 178 px. Hmm, the level's biggest horizontal gap is 55 px (B→C) plus rise 65. Fine. Hmm, but a 171 px max jump makes the whole level easy — that's fine, "completable" is the goal. But too floaty? Rise time 0.31s is reasonable (Mario-ish). Fall from apex with same gravity → symmetric. Let me add a mild fall-gravity multiplier (1.25x) to make it snapier: fall from apex 171 px takes sqrt(2*171/(1.0*1.25)) = sqrt(273.6) = 16.5 steps. Then airtime = 18.5+16.5 = 35 steps = 0.58 s. Horizontal reach = 4.5*35 = 157 px. Still fine. But careful: with fall gravity 1.25, the direct over-the-wall route window shrinks. Recompute: rise phase with g=1.0, fall with g_f=1.25. Time above h=140: rising from apex back... The time from apex (h=171) down to h=140: sqrt(2*31/1.25) = 7.05 steps. Rising time from h=140 to apex = sqrt(2*31/1.0) = 7.9 steps. Total window ≈ 15 steps → 67 px at speed 4.5. Just barely enough for the direct route (needs 60+). Fine — but the wall-top route is the reliable one anyway. Hmm, but there's a subtlety with variable jump height: if the player holds jump the whole time, it gets max height. Good. Also terminal velocity: cap fall speed to avoid tunneling (e.g., max 24 px/step). With substepping and swept collision, tunneling is handled anyway. Let's cap vy at ~22 and also do swept collision. Let me now think about the collision resolution algorithm carefully. Per step: 1. Read input, compute vx (target), handle jump (coyote + buffer). 2. Apply gravity to vy. 3. Move X: newX = x + vx. Resolve X collisions: for each platform, if the player's AABB (at newX, y) overlaps the platform AABB (with strict overlap), push out horizontally: if vx > 0 → x = p.x - w; else if vx < 0 → x = p.x + p.w. Use the resolved x progressively (iterate and re-check). 4. Move Y: newY = y + vy. Resolve Y: for each platform, if overlap at (x, newY): if vy > 0 (falling) → y = p.y - h, vy = 0, onGround = true; if vy < 0 (rising) → y = p.y + p.h, vy = 0 (bonk head). But swept/tunneling: with vy up to 22 and platforms 16 thick, a simple overlap test at the new position can miss. Solution: for the Y pass, check the swept path: if prevBottom <= p.y and newBottom >= p.y (with x overlap) → land. Similarly for head: prevTop >= p.y+p.h and newTop <= p.y+p.h → bonk. That handles tunneling robustly for the vertical axis. Similarly for X: prevRight <= p.x and newRight >= p.x (with y overlap) → hit left face; etc. But there's a classic issue: when moving diagonally, the swept X test uses the y at the start of the step and the swept Y test uses the x after X resolution. Order: resolve X first (using swept test with y range unchanged), then Y (using swept test with resolved x). This is standard and works well. Edge case: the player walking off a ledge and falling — fine. Edge case: player pushed against a wall corner. Should be fine. Another edge case: standing exactly on a platform top: y + h == p.y exactly. Overlap test must use strict inequality (bottom > p.y) so resting contact isn't treated as penetration. For onGround detection, we should check resting contact: after Y resolution, check if the player is standing on a platform (bottom within a small epsilon of p.y and x overlap) → onGround = true. Also, when standing, gravity adds vy each step → the player moves down slightly (vy = G, y increases by G) → then Y resolution snaps back to p.y and sets onGround. That's the standard approach and gives stable resting contact (no sinking since we snap position). Let me be careful with the swept landing test: prevBottom = y + h; newBottom = y + vy + h. Condition: prevBottom <= p.y + tolerance && newBottom >= p.y && x-overlap. With resting contact: prevBottom == p.y (<= p.y ✓), newBottom = p.y + G >= p.y ✓ → land, snap to p.y. Good, stable. But what about a player standing on the ground and walking under a ledge? E.g., the ground: prevBottom = 440, newBottom = 440+G. Lands on ground ✓. What about the wall: the player standing on the ground (bottom 440) walking right into the wall (x300..320, y230..440). The wall's bottom is 440 = player's bottom. Y-overlap test: player.y (404) < p.y + p.h (440) and player.y + h (440) > p.y (230) → 440 > 230 ✓ and 404 < 440 ✓ → overlap in y. X swept: prevRight = x+24, newRight = prevRight + vx. If newRight > p.x (300) and prevRight <= 300 → resolve x = 300 - 24 = 276. Good. But careful with strict inequalities at boundaries: player bottom exactly 440 equals wall bottom 440. y-overlap: player.y + h > p.y → 440 > 230 ✓; player.y < p.y + p.h → 404 < 440 ✓. Fine. Now, what if the player's bottom exactly equals the wall top (230) — standing on the wall top: y+h = 230, y = 194. Walking right off the wall: x increases; when x > 320 (left edge past wall right edge), no x overlap → falls. Fine. Now the "never inside a platform" requirement: add a final safety pass — if the player's AABB is strictly inside a platform after resolution, push it out to the nearest safe side (prefer up if the penetration is small). Let's implement `unstick()`: for each platform, if strict overlap, compute penetration depths on 4 sides and push out along the minimum, preferring up (standing on top) when penetration up is small. This is a safety net. Also clamp to canvas bounds: x in [0, 800-w], y in [0, 480-h]; if the player somehow falls below, reset. Now the win condition: AABB overlap between the player and the goal rect (goal x730..750, y125..165). The player standing on ledge D (top 165) has body y 129..165 → overlaps the goal rect (125..165) ✓ when x overlaps 730..750. So walking to the flag triggers it. Good. I'll use overlap with a slight expansion so brushing the pole counts. Now the fixed timestep: ```js const STEP = 1/60; let acc = 0, last = performance.now(); function frame(now) { let dt = (now - last)/1000; last = now; if (dt > 0.25) dt = 0.25; // avoid spiral after tab switch acc += dt; while (acc >= STEP) { if (!won) update(); acc -= STEP; } draw(); requestAnimationFrame(frame); } requestAnimationFrame(frame); ``` Note: original called `frame()` with no arg; I'll use requestAnimationFrame(frame) initially with `last` initialized on first call. Let me handle: `let last = null; function frame(now){ if (last === null) last = now; ...}`. Also, when won, we should stop updating but keep drawing (original behavior). Also R restarts. Now jump feel parameters: - COYOTE = 0.10 s (6 steps) - JUMP_BUFFER = 0.12 s (7 steps) - JUMP_CUT: when jump released while vy < 0, vy *= 0.45 (only once, or continuously? Standard: on release, if vy < 0, vy *= cutFactor). Also min jump: a tap gives H_tap = (18.5*0.45)²/(2*1.0) = 8.325²/2 = 34.6 px. Hmm, that's quite low. Maybe cut to 0.5 → 9.25 → H=42.8. Let's think: short tap should still be useful — the smallest useful rise in the level... from ground to ledge A needs 70. A tap of ~0.1s: vy at release = 18.5 - 1*6 = 12.5 → cut to 6.25 → H = 19.5. Hmm, that's a very short hop. That's fine — variable height means taps give small hops. Actually a common approach: variable gravity while holding (hold gravity lower). E.g., while jump held and rising, gravity = 0.75 G; else gravity = G (or 1.2G when falling). This gives a smooth variable jump. Combined with jump cut on release. Let me use the classic approach: - While rising (vy < 0) and jump held: G_rise = 0.72 * G? Let's compute max height: with variable gravity during rise... messy. Let's just use jump cut — simpler and predictable. Let me define: - GRAVITY = 1.05 (per step²) - JUMP_VELOCITY = -19 → H = 361/2.1 = 171.9
