Re: does this.body.pos.y (or similar) exist?

We you able to bring the player back or something? curious how you know it didn't disappear :)

One thing you can do to restart is simply call: me.state.restart(). That will remove everything from me.game.world, and restart the current screen. It's a good place to start on doing game restarts. I use it in a couple instances myself.

Oh, try using this.pos.y instead. I believe the body position is one that's relative to the entity. So the entity has its own "world" or "relative to parent" position. The body is the physics body relevant to the entity. Which maintains velocity and movement so you can update the position of the entity.

Here's how the platformer does it: https://github.com/melonjs/melonJS/blob/master/examples/platformer/js/entities/player.js#L98-L108

Note also you'll need this flag: https://github.com/melonjs/melonJS/blob/master/examples/platformer/js/entities/player.js#L6-L7
