pygame tutorial. In the previous few videos, we went over game physics for jumping with gravity in the y direction, and moving/sliding with friction in the x direction. For both tutorials, we set an invisible floor for the player to land on. In this tutorial, we remove that invisible floor and create platform with tiles instead. We also setup collision detection with the platform, and we will use this same function for collision detection with enemies, items, traps, etc.

Luckily, pygame already provides a collision function that we can use, but if you want to define your own, you can reference this formula defined in a function of my version of flappy bird, built in javascript: https://github.com/ImKennyYip/flappy-bird/blob/master/flappybird.js#L163
