Perspective Platfomer Example (PBFX)

   Perspective Platformer Demo (Using Perspective Sprites)

    This is the standard platform demo from way back converted to use PBFX 1.71c's perspective sprite rendering.    Which is a feature of PBFX 1.7x editions of PlayBasic.  Perspective rendering has various rotation modes.   In this one (perspective 2D), it will render the sprite scene down the z axis.  So the camera can zoom in/out and spin on the Z axis but not on the X/Y axis.  There's other rotation modes (i.e. full 3D) but this one is a lot simpler for 2D game scenes (no axis flipping! )  and therefore a lot more plug and play friendly!
