	local move = vmath.vector3()
	if go.get_action("left").pressed then move.x = move.x - 1 end
	if go.get_action("right").pressed then move.x = move.x + 1 end
	if go.get_action("jump").pressed and self.vspeed == 0 then self.vspeed = -300 end

	self.vspeed = self.vspeed + self.gravity * dt
	move.y = self.vspeed * dt
	go.set_position(go.get_position() + move * self.speed * dt)
end
