  • hello, I'm making a sonic game, any idea how to create the spindash and physics of motion, would be helpful

  • Well the easiest way is on key pressing down, do the spin animation, when the key is released, keep the animation but move sonic forward at a much faster pace.

    Is that what you mean? I'm not totally sure what you mean by physics of motion.

  • You could create a global variable called charge or something like that.

    I guess if you hold down, then the spindash animation can play in a loop while also adding some value to the variable called charge, then when you let go you could apply a physics impulse based on the value of charge to launch sonic.

    as changing the angle of the sprite when it rotates 360 degrees for the platform?

    This isn't a trivial matter as changing the angle of the sprite is the algorithm that gives Sonic games their novelty and is difficult to replicate.

    This gives some details on the algorithm. I also recommend looking at Sonic Physics Guide, which is guide designed for creating Sonic fan games that gives details about the algorithms and variables used to create the classic games.
