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!

[@ewisthegoober]

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

[@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.

​@@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! :)

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

[@griffpatch]

Most welcome 😊

[@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!

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.

[@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.

[@Blgahts892]

Thank you griffpatch for the tutorial

[@CoolAndChillZigglot]

Love your Tutorials here are some ideas for Part 6: 1. Customizable Icons 2. Orbs 3. Pause Menu 4. Selecting Levels Menu 5. Ship Gamemode 6. Secret Coins 7. Camera Shake On Death 8. Practise Mode 9. Portals (like gravity flip) 10. Speed Changes 11. Wave (my favourite gamemode) Think thats enough and Keep up the good work!

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.

[@katipsy]

Hey griffpatchs I made the tiny spikes in mine and of course the don't kill the player bc they aren't beige. In ep7 are you going to make a hazard sprite like in the platfprmer or something? Edit I watched it again and now I see you made the pink ones have an outline
