How to code your player to jump in a platform game
Ever wonder how jumping works in a platform game? Ever try to make your own but rage within 2 hours of your non-stop, not-working work??
If yes, and your code looks like this but never works-
What i'm about to tell you is crazy…
I once couldn't code my platform because the jumping sucked, and I would never even finish it!
But the reality is-
JUMPING IS SO SIMPLE!
I almost cried when I found this out!!
Its as simple as this-
First create a speed y in variables, and you probably know how to set the speed,
Now use speed y like this:
when green flag clicked
forever
If yes, and your code looks like this but never works-
when green flag clickedWell it doesn't ever really look that good, and dose not work very well.
forever
if <> then
<key [ up arrow] pressed?>
change y by (5)
change y by (-5)
end
end

if <> then
<key [ up arrow] pressed?>
broadcast [ 1]
end
when I receive [ 1]
set [ speed y] to [11]
Simple, and works!
Now you can finish a platform and share it!
Just like the pros do! (just kidding) :P

How to code your player to jump in a platform game
The forum works best if those who need help post new topics asking for help and those who want to help just respond where they can help. Tutorials just get lost here and rarely looked at.
I would also suggest you use the sticky topic to practice your use of Scratchblocks - their use can be tricky at first.
