Regarding @TychoBolt's
"Platformer Design" Resources (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QhFyPfYSjHv7PjibGrslF3mNW_CIDXWv9o-iQgLbu1o/edit#gid=1234891906)

(Guilherme Stutz Töws) linked this tweet (https://twitter.com/TychoBolt/status/1182541355337289728) in paradise and I immediately latched onto the fact that there's a
"Platformer Design" tab (directly linked in big link above). I have designed platformers for like my whole life, and I like getting mad at people's attempts to codify something that I never properly learned, but have developed an intuitive taste for. Fun for everyone!
I browsed through some of the posts prior to having this forum-y outlet. I may never continue this thread but I wanted to have it ready in case I do browse through again & find anything that interests, or more likely incenses, me.
