-What follows are the approximate maximum distances crossed by doing a certain movement action. While mroe accurate number are possible, the maximum only matters for making sure two objects are too far apart to cross. If you actually want players to cross a chasm, you'll want to keep the distance under the maximum by some measure: no one likes missing a jump by millimetres. If you want to make a chasm uncrossable, you'll also want to make the distance quite a bit larger than the maximum to make it visually clear to the player that they should not try to cross. Level design is a form of communication, and unless you're making a puzzle level you should probably try to make things as clear as possible.+What follows are the approximate maximum distances that can be crossed by doing a certain movement action.
