Game Maker Platformer Physics

Howdy everyone! Today I wanted to post a simple snippet that will solve all your physics needs in Game Maker Studio’s GML language.  Sure, Game Maker will do physics for you, but for a platformer, where physics is one of the most important aspects of the game design, why not write your own so that…
