    @yasoofx, an update to my previous demo is attached. I added a random offset for the Y axis in the spawn behavior.

    Keep in mind this is very rough, I'd expect you'd want to limit the top and bottom Y location so the platforms don't go off the screen, and consider adding space between some platforms.

    Hope this helps some.

    change self.position.y to random(min,max)
    so it could be something like random(50,100)
    hope this helped :)
    good luck

    and also put a change attribute to it with change self.position.y to random(10,50) <- or something

    one thing. why does it keep going up . doesnt stay one place

    That is the random offset for the Y axis, I set it to pick a random number between -20 and 20 pixels so it will move up and down depending on the numbers picked.

    Like I said, that is very rough just to give you the concept. You'll want to play with the code to make it function 'just so' for your game.
