I'm a CS student and software developer. I know a thing or two about engines. How about you Dr. Death? Obviously not when you throw around terms like "engine re-write". Do you even know what that means? Jeez.

Dr Death. Jump would not require an "Engine Re-Write". That's absurd. Can you make a plane go up or down? Great. Then it can be applied to player entities too. Learn what you're talking about before you talk.
