I wouldn't use collision detection for this. If you did that then the
Jumpman could "hang" off a ladder and still climb. Also, how would you
determine he climbed too far vs. the player pushing up in open space? I
thought about doing collision detection for Climber 5 but it wouldn't have
worked out. The most obvious reason was because my ladders didn't extend
past the platform so the player wouldn't be able to climb down.
I'd recommend doing calculations to determine if he's climbing a ladder or
walking up/down a platform.
This is how Garry did it for Donkey Kong too and I think it worked great.
Take care,
Dennis
