Scratch 3.0: How to Make a Platformer Game (Full Tutorial)

[@dragonpug1452]

I feel like your not explaining it in the way I think you should. this doesn't mean its a bad tutorial. this is what lots of people are looking for. I just want to be able to apply what I learn to other things. I feel like this just teaches me a one dimensional view of it, like "these are the blocks that make a platformer" but I want to know what these blocks are doing by themselves. why were using them over other things. why these particular blocks when put together make a platformer. if I were to ask how to build a table I don't want to be told "take this block of wood and put it here then do it here, here, etc." I want to be told: "were putting this block here to lift the table off the ground, and this one here to reinforce it." so I can then use this knowledge to reinforce a shelf later. rather than only knowing how to build a table.

I'm not trying to be those people who say thank you for a heart but, thank you for this it genuinely helped me, I tried to follow griffpatches tutorial on platformers and I couldn't really understand what was meant for what, this was simple and yet still keeps that platformer feel to it. This simplicity made me understand what was meant for what since I'm so young. I'm am genuinely thankful for this since I signed up for a coding tournament at school and this will help me with it

[@nicolaurovira6712]

[@agari5702]

Tip: If you want spikes in your game go to the costume or level you want it in, rotate squares to look like diamonds, send them to the back of the costume halfway to make it look like triangles, and it’ll work perfectly.

[@TopazFlutist]

Thank you so much for this video! I've tried to find a tutorial on platformers that wasn't too complicated because it would just be lots and lots and lots of code (which would have absolutely no meaning to me), and it was quite likely to make a mistake so that your game won't work! I like how the code in your video is simple and easy to understand and digest, especially because my dad wants me to learn Python, and some aspects of that programming language and Scratch are similar. I am very grateful that I came across this video! Also, if possible, could you make a wall jumping video? Thanks so much! 😆

Incredible! Many times I've looked at different tutorials for creating a platformer, the code is almost the same everywhere, but usually it is so large that it is very difficult to understand it. After all, it is important not only to copy it, but also to understand how it works. In this video, it has been simplified and condensed so much that even I could figure it out.

if u put When flag clicked then Forever + Repeat until Touching (name of the sprite thats the ground) Change y by -10 you can make gravity without using custom blocks so if you dont want to use custom blocks then use this i tested it EDIT:You have to make the jump go 10y or it will do a small jump

If you do that the gravity wont feel real there would not be gravity acceleration
