there was hitbox v2 in the cat sprite

I don't care if I don't code projects anymore or even frankly care about making a platformer, I watch all of these videos anyway. Just makes me smile that there is an adult out there, sharing his time to teach random strangers (mostly kids) for free! I imagine it must be a pretty big sacrifice recording, scripting, and editing a half-hour-long video.

[@griffpatch]

Thanks as always :) - Yes - I've spent almost all my free time doing it for all of this year! If you add up all the time is would be phenomenal lol. Each video takes me around 20-30 hours of work

[@ashtonruiz3232]

I love how genuinely excited you seem here and there to code in scratch. It shows you’re very enthusiastic about all things scratch. Another thing I like is how to explain the ins and outs of the scratch code. Whether it’s explaining the code, explaining the project, and more. I like the way you teach, you have been helping me out for years already and I really, really appreciate it. Thank you, Griffpatch. :)

Griffpatch, you are an amazing teacher. It helps that you have a modern tutorial on how to do this stuff. Other tutorials were made in 2014 and don't work anymore. You really do help me a lot! Also, I hope you're OK with this but I used the Scratch Cat sprite you used to make the models for my character in the game. Thanks!

He does it for 20-30 hrs of work for a 1/2 hr video

[@asadokimas981]

Lastly, I noticed that despite platformer shooter is great game type I don't see a lot of them on scratch. Maybe next tutorial series can be about this? (Also I;m currently making one and AI in ticks is a pain, especially as complicated as mine).

Griffpatch what's funny is that when you start using the frame variable and the sprites scroll to 16, if you quickly click on one of the left and right arrows the character stays on the costume where you left off and if we jump he stays too! 🤣

[@funraven659]

Griffpatch, I have a glitch for u to solve; because ur changing frame by 1 whether we are holding right or left, holding down both keys (left and right arrow) will lead to u running on the spot and changing costumes by 1+(frame*2)modulo-16
