Is it possible for a colliding object to "push" the view?

Hi,

No, there is currently no way for an object to physically move the viewpoint, you would have to calculate this manually.

The best way to simulate a platform would be to create a timer when the user steps on to a platform, and then kill the timer when the user steps off. The code inside the timer would simply perform a relative movement of the view in the direction of the platform. Example:

def StepOnPlatform():
    #Start a timer

def StepOffPlatform():
    #Kill timer

def ontimer(num):
    if num == PLATFORM_TIMER:
        v = platformVelocityVector * viz.elapsed()
        view.translate(v.get(),viz.RELATIVE)

The code above is just an outline. platformVelocityVector should be a vector describing the speed and direction that platform is moving in.
