Just wondering what the number before f represents when designating the playerAnimation.SetFloat. I changed the number to a variety of different numbers, but it didn't seem to have any effect on how fast the frog jumps. Is it supposed to go faster or slower?

In many weakly typed languages if I type "10" it will automatically be made an Int by the language. However if you type "10f" you're telling it to be a float so that it has as much precision as needed.

12,216 PointsSorry, I should have given you a link from the start. Here is a link to the C# reference pages that explains this. It's not setting the precision but rather telling it to be a float which allows for more precision.
