Soeey if i posted this in the wrong place, but i really need help aking a matrix gameI wanna make a GOOD slow motion platformer.Can anyone help me, or give me any matrix game tutorial websites.Thnx
I don't know any tutorials for this, but I think a custom engine with a few extra conditions could accomplish this. Maybe add X to value Y, where X is the current speed, and Y a special control value. Then when Y reaches a certain value, run other events for movement and so.
- Ok, you must admit that was the most creative cussing this site have ever seen -

I've always wanted to create a matrix game, it's been my dream game as a coder. Basically what you should have is a speed counter and then when you hold control you set the counter lower.
Ok, Two counters Z and X
========================
Always - Add 1 to Z
Z=X - Set Z to 0
Z=1 - Update your custom platform movement here
---------------------------
The higher The value X goes, the more dramatic the bullet time effect, be careful though, as this will drop how fast your graphics change position so your movement will be more and more jerky the high that value goes.
Craps, I'm an old man!

No, he purposely typed out a tutorial that was wrong, to trick you.

LoL, no it works. But it is very basic just to get you started, I'm not sure if I would use something exactly like that but I would use the same sort of principle.
use a custom platform movement you can find almost anywhere (including here) and edit the movement stuff. When it moves the x and y position, make a value called game speed and times it by that, and it should work.
