Original Post
hey, I am trying to add jumping to my game but when i start it it says there is an endless loop in player_move. Does any one have suggestions. and I am sorry this is a lot of code... but if you don't mind, would you look through it and try to help me. thank you. edit: I worked it out. thank you for your help.
