There is a bug in the XAMPP installation security tool for Mac.
Seems like they changed the xampp tools from XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/xampp to XAMPP/xamppfiles/htdocs/dashboard and didn’t update the XAMPP/xamppfiles/share/xampp/checkapache file.
I noticed this when I ran the XAMPP/xamppfiles/xampp security utility and noticed it wasn’t making my xampp pages require a password from the browser.
A character which can jump and double-jump is great, but we need a little more action. In this tutorial, our actor is going to be able to also move left and right. This tutorial shows how to use GetKey to handle the left and right arrow keys for movement. Then we add a function to flip the sprite horizontally, so it appears to face in the expected direction.
This tutorial is presented in two videos: one video each for JavaScript and C# (C-Sharp). I’ve presented both languages, since it’s sometimes not clear how to convert code from the other language when watching a tutorial. The code performs the same functions and produces the same game play, so you only need to watch one.
In this video we…
use the JavaScript or C-Sharp (C#) language
add left/right movement with arrow keys
use GetKey
use GetComponent(RigidBody2D)
use Vector3
add a function to handle sprite flipping, horizontally
An essential part of a platform game is the ability to jump. Sometimes you need to jump over barrels, onto mushroom people, or just jump up to the next platform.
Space Panic, released in November 1980, is probably the first platform game, but Donkey Kong introduced the jump mechanic in 1981.

Many of the existing 2D Platformer tutorial videos are outdated with Unity 5, and the C# (c-sharp) and UnityScript (JavaScript) files need to be updated. Also, many of the tutorials are for either C# or UnityScript, but not both. You may like C#, but the tutorial you need may be in UnityScript. Or vice, versa.
I will run through building a 2D Platformer in Unity 5 and I’ll be showing how to do the steps in both scripting languages (both C# and UnityScript/JavaScript).
In this first video, I introduce Unity 5 and show how we are going to set up the project for the future steps. We also download an import public domain art assets from Kenney, using OpenGameArt.org.
Some of the highlights:
In this video, we …
download Unity
create a new project with Scenes and Sprites folders
This tutorial starts with a fresh project, but the completed GitHub tag for this tutorial is v1.2 (See this link about the 2 Platformer GitHub source and tags)
In the next video, I will be showing how to get keyboard input working to control jumping and left/right movement.
How to uninstall beta versions of Xcode from your Mac.
Now that iTunes 10.5, iOS5 and the new Xcode have been released, it is worth mentioning that to uninstall any beta installation you had, you should use the uninstaller.
Sometimes, putting a website into a subdirectory just doesn’t cut it. You need to have the website act like it’s on it’s own first party domain. But how do you do this with XAMPP? XAMPP uses Apache web server and to do this with Apache, you would create virtual hosts.
To create some XAMPP virtual hosts on our Mac, we need to
* create a virtual hosts entry for each virtual host
* include the virtual hosts file in the httpd.conf
* add an entry in your hosts file for each virtual host
