Enemies for a platforming-combat game?

[GungnirDev]

My next project is an evil, closed-source commercial platform combat game which will involve lots of platform and lots of combat (as you might have deduced). So far I have been using Fizz which works very well for platforms and player character, however I have not figured out how to create enemies that will collide with both my platforms and the main character. (I can do one or the other just not both.) I've not seen any examples of this done in fizz so, before I go any further with fizz I was wondering if this is doable with just Fizz, AnAl and cron or if I need something else to achieve these results.

The Fizz demo provides an example of platforms, a player-controlled physics object, and other physics objects, all of which collide. Be aware that it's not good at stacking higher than two boxes (I could never figure out the math for it). It also doesn't have fancy optimizations like AABB, so it won't scale well to thousands of objects.

For the record, all of my Love2D stuff so far is under the Zlib license. That means it's okay to close the source, but you need to give me credit.

I will definitely credit you, it was more of a joke about how it's evil and closed-source so I can't post the code for everyone here to dissect-and-correct as that would not only be you all doing my work for me, but also rather defeat the purpose of me selling it.

But, on the original point, you're saying that it would be possible to program multiple (if not hundreds of) enemies on screen at once using Fizz, that collide with the ground and with the player?
