Hi

[@blobstudio]

As a member of the GD community AND the scratch community, I am so happy that griffpatch is making tutorials on how to make Geometry Dash! I know he has made a GD game in the past but now there is a whole tutorial on it! This is why I love griffpatch!

[@samanthaschmitter2544]

griffpatch your tutorials are very easy but hard at the same time and I like how you explain what your doing to make it work. keep up the good work :) :)

i've been watching your channel for a little while, and i love how you do everything i could never think of such simple ways of doing seemingly complex things until i started watching your channel and following along ive also gotten the courage to start coding in LUA because of this, but the transition is still leaving me a bit confused, but i guess that happens in all coding languages

Yes indeed - But it can't continue forever! - I'll certainly be having the odd break sooner or later - Hope you enjoy the video!

[@walmart-employ33]

​@@griffpatchthe episode was awesome! i also have a bug report on the 2023 cloud multiplayer tutorial! i narrowed it down and it appears when new players drop by in my game (scratch vibe) they wont make a clone of themselves and just use someones clone! it makes it look like they are teleporting! could you mind helping me. thank you!

[@griffpatch]

Ok, I've found one bug - In the Cloud Engine Sprite, under "define Process Item", the second from last "replace item of PDATA" should be "replace item of PUIDs". You can see it can't be right because otherwise it would be replaced again by the very next replace item block below. This 2nd from last replace is setting a new player's id in the list, without that it can't know which player's data belongs to who! :)

[@asc-0955]

This looks really similar to the actual game now! Amazing! 1 suggestion though, can you add the intro (menu screen fades to black, fades out to level, and then the player is at -x max and goes to normal x pos)?

[@asc-0955]

Keep it up griffpatch, I really love your videos!

[@rockets4lifegaming]

Again, it's always a great day when Griffpatch uploads a new Scratch video; whether it be a tutorial or a devlog, it's always a great day

[@newconcentrate]

Griffpatch, i was wondering when you finish this series, could you make a tutorial series on how to make a turn based battle system?

[@CloudyKazual]

Will you ever finish the raycasting tutorials? I really loved following that series and how it was coming out

[@Freshykz]

Something that's been bugging me since we added particles, was that once the particles hit the wall, they don't get deleted, they just get glued to the edge, and slide in a single direction, like at 3:28

[@griffpatch]

if touching edge, delete clone :)

[@Hectorien_]

just add an "if touching edge, delete this clone" in the repeat block.

[@coponstackos]

Saw this and remembered about when I made a geometry dash game, and it's still kind of unfinished. At least I had done a ship mode, but it's noticeable that colision was a blt weird, since before death the cube would clip into blocks(because I didnt know how to diferentiate colission with floor to collision with wall, so I just killed the player if he stayed inside for too long. This makes me want to go back to that project. Great video!

[@bhautagad7438]

Thankyou for the tutorial sir . I was waiting from 2 weeks. 😊

Loving the videos! For the next tutorial series, could i suggest that an isometric tile engine / some sort of 3d project would be cool to see.

[@pearpear4319]

I’m curious to see how you work out the pause menu, since there’s no way to actually pause audio in scratch, but I’m sure you’ll find out a way. You’ve probably found out more work-around than I have untitled levels.

[@norasmith2873]

griffpatch, thanks for the GD tutorials vids :)

[@Speed-TV]

16:42 I think you forgot to remove the white line on the floor when moving the level costumes, but anyways there is one visual bug that was bothering be with this, which is that the particles from the player don't scroll with the player. 18:59 and that vector ship portal is AMAZING, It looks super accurate to the game, I thought it was a PNG at first

[@griffpatch]

You are dead right, and it annoys me too!!! We can fix it of course, but it all takes time!!! lol.

I'm having trouble at 10:34, the floor sprite, because when you say go down like 8 key arrows pressed--and that is 15 pixels per press (8x15)--my costume designs are different than yours so when I do it however many it takes to reach the bottom it either is too short or too far down or OCD-triggering mistakes.

How come after I remove the game on broadcast at 2:35 , the level doesn’t scroll to the right after I click the play button?
