Walking off a ledge should not give a free extra jump

A character with a mid-air jump behaves oddly when it simply walks off a ledge: sometimes two jumps remain, sometimes none, depending on small details. Here is a consistent rule and the numbers that prove it holds on every path.

Why this works

The player thinks of jumps as a small supply for one trip through the air, not as separate kinds. If the first jump is lost by walking off, the supply is smaller. Counting from one pool keeps the rule easy to say and impossible to cheat.

When not to use it

Skip it if your game gives a clear, separate extra jump as a reward or power-up, which is meant to be on top of the normal one. Then keep the pools apart and tell the player, so the bonus is a gift they can see.
