Hey everyone, I'm working on a game and I've set up code for movement. However, I'm running into an issue where the game doesn't seem to recognize whether the player is on the ground or not, which prevents me from jumping. I've shared snippets of my code related to collision detection and gravity below. Any guidance on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

It seems like your grounded flag isn't reliable because it gets reset too quickly on `endContact`. Since you're using multiple ground fixtures, a single separation can lead to the player being considered "not on the ground" even if they still are. Instead, consider keeping a contact counter: increment it on `beginContact` and decrement on `endContact`. If your counter is greater than zero, treat the player as grounded.
Thanks for the tip! So how should I implement the counter? Could you share a quick example?
