Move platforms back and forth with pauses at the ends and carry whoever stands on them

Platforms that move by adding a bit each frame slip out of step with each other over time, run at different speeds on different screens, and let the player slide off. Here is a way to place every platform from the clock so they stay in step and carry the rider.

Why this works

When where something is depends only on what time it is, nothing can slip out of step: all platforms stay in sync, and a rider is carried by exactly how far the platform moved. Remembering speeds and flipping directions instead lets small errors grow.

When not to use it

Do not use it when platforms must react to the player, for example sinking under weight, stopping when blocked or following the player. Then move them with simple rules and hold the rider with the same shared movement.
