   So, I'm making this sideview game with chipmunk. Its a platform puzzle game where you walk on lines which work as a platform, now the thing is you can draw lines to get too the platform above, a small illustration below.

   --------
   --------
   -o---/--
   --------
   (- are the platform lines, o is the player, / is the drawn line )

   Now I'm wondering how I should move the player, I used some diffrent techniques but none really work, how could I get smooth movement on the platform lines aswell as the drawn lines ?

   Can you give us any additional information? Like what you've tried, what didn't work about it, etc. That will help others with being able to easily assess if they could help or not. =)

   I tried going the physics way, first adding a force to my player which worked but made him slide backwards when walking on the diagonal lines. I tried with impulses but couldn't really get that to work properly, what I'm doing now is setting the body->v.x to a certain force in a step interval, this works but it makes walking lines look weird and it walks at almost vertical lines, also it remains *inside* other object while moving, like 10-20 pixels ( one click is start moving, starting the schedule which sets v.x to 100. Another click is stopping, stopping the schedule and set the v.x to 0 ).

   So in short :
   applyForce
   applyImpulse
   body->v.x = xxx
