Pixels are aligned to a grid. In a pixel perfect collision engine, we have to be creative to continue the illusion of a flat slope. We know that it really is like stair steps. But we want to move along it, slide, and feel flat. My method of dealing with slopes has evolved over the years. First I thought the answer was simply move up a certain number of pixels first, then move over to collision, and finally move back down that same number of pixels to collision.

That is, at first glance, a perfect solution. I thought I was pretty smart keeping my movement aligned to the grid. I called it the up over down solution. I ran into an issue later on where the player would seemingly hop down the slope instead of running down the slope. The way I had set it up, the player could move up a slope but would never stick to the slope moving down.

Easy fix I thought. I will just move the player up, then over, then back down, and then I move down one more time. Now we stick to the slopes moving down. Next issue: falling off platforms looks really weird. So back to the drawing boards. The player seems to get knocked down when falling off platforms.

Up, over, down, down again only if that puts us on ground.
