Here is the most basic example that comes to mind:

+ Code Snippet

rem Build objects
make object cube 1, 1
make object box 2, 100, 5, 100
move object up 1, 100

rem Create settings
global Bounce#
global Gravity#
Bounce# = 0.0001
Gravity# = 0.1

rem Run the engine
do

   rem Gravity or bounce
   if object collision(1, 2)
   
      move object up 1, Bounce#
      
      rem Allow user to press spacebar to invoke jump action
      if spacekey()
            move object up 1, 20   
      endif
      
   else
   
      move object down 1, Gravity#
      
   endif

   rem Watch the object
   point camera object position x(1), object position y(1), object position z(1)

loop

Note that the Y axis is up.

Next time you need any assistance, have a look in the snippets, codebase or newcomers section. There are also some tutorials on my site.

What’s your best game moment?
