Platformer

A playbook for 2D platformers — the run/jump controller "feel", level structure, hazards,
and goals. This is a compositional skill: it wires an engine movement skill, a tilemap
skill, and design skills into a working game. It does not re-teach physics or tilemaps;
it tells you what to build and how to make jumping feel good.

When to use

Use when building a side-scrolling or single-screen platformer, a "Mario-like" /
"Celeste-like", or any game whose core verb is jump between surfaces.

Use when a jump feels floaty, unresponsive, or "unfair" and you need feel fixes
(coyote time, jump buffering, variable height, corner correction).

When not to use: top-down movement with no gravity → use the engine movement skill
directly. 3D first-person traversal → fps-shooter. Grid/turn movement → roguelike.
For the raw kinematic body API, use godot-2d-movement (or your engine's controller skill).
