The player is placed 10 pixels above the ground actor and it still freezes.

Do you initially see the player fall to the ground? Try at lines 36 and 53: <Code Omitted>

I tried it and still, whether I spawn him right on the ground or make him fall a few pixels, the effect is the same. Let's continue our conversation here, please, if you are still willing to help: https://www.greenfoot.org/topics/64038/0#post_142560

Collision detection

By Vitalka, with 1 reply.
Replied to by danpost, almost 5 years ago:

I am not a fan of the approach you have chosen to code the behavior of FigurEng objects. The many different collision checks make it quite complicated. On top of that, having them actually touching a stone when "on" one (see line 62) actually complicates things even more. I prefer maintaining separation from all objects and, after moving, using the direction of movement to dictate where contact was made with a colliding object. That is, if FallSpeed is negative, then any object would be above it and if it is positive, then below ("on ground" state can be determined here, as
