with gravity
any platformer games, such as Super
Mario Bros. and Donkey Kong Country,
show a side view of the action, where
the bottom of the screen is the ground and the char-
acter is shown from the side. These games have
gravity: characters can jump up and then fall until
they land on the ground. In this chapter, we’ll write
a basketball game that has gravity. The player will
jump and throw a basketball, and the basketball
player and ball will fall downward.
