make platformer with javascript code example
Example 1: platformer javascript
//pt1
//if you don't have a canvas, this adds it
if(document.getElementsByTagName('canvas').length == 0) {

//variable declaration

//events
document.body.addEventListener("keydown", function(e) {

});
document.body.addEventListener("keyup", function(e) {

//make the level and player
