Mario Style Jumping

[noobIndie]

I am implementing mario style jumping and was wondering if this is the right approach to do it. Here’s the algo

if(isBtnJump){

ySpeed +=jumpStep;                          if(ySpeed > MAX_JUMP_SPEED){

isBtnJump = false;

}

}else{

ySpeed -=gravity;

}

One question, is it fine to apply gravity only when the player is not jumping? and how can i make it frame rate independent?

EDITED

[SOLVED] Variable Mario Type Jump

Hi I am new to Flashpunk I know how to code in C#, but flash is something similar yet different to me, I want to simulate a mario jump, in which by pressing up it will jump a bit and by keeping it pressed it will jump much more, I am using MattTuttle example: https://github.com/MattTuttle/Flashpunk-Physics/tree/master/com I just need to be pointed in the right direction for this, not sure what to use D:

Have you tested it yourself? I don’t mean to answer every one of your questions this way, but if you always run your ideas by people first you’ll never get anything done. Try to implement it first, and if it doesn’t work after some testing, feel free to get feedback on your approach.
