Basically I am working on a simple platformer and I have all of the basics like the gravity, acceleration, and platforms, but for some reason the character will decelerate going right, but when it goes left it will continue moving slowly instead of stopping. I even printed the value of my variable "changeX" to see what was going on, and it showed me the values I that should be happening rather than what was displayed. Sorry my comments are very limited in their helpfulness. The code regarding variables rect.x , changeX, and accelX are likely the most relevant.
