1) You need a player sprite. You can design the sprite to look however you want, many people choose a shape like a box or a circle. For the physics script, you can either create one yourself or find one by searching up ‘platform base’ or ‘platformer tutorial’. Just remember to credit whoever's base/tutorial you took the script from.

2) You need to create the levels. Customize them however you want: many platformers are simply black, rectangular platforms, but there are many others that are intricately designed, with amazing graphics and special effects. However, a defining feature in most platformers is that there are almost always some types of obstacles. Most people choose red (lava). Also, many platformers have bounce pads. Some even have portals, or sticky substances. Get creative! Also, you have the option to make the level scrolling. This allows you to add more. For a stationary level, the code for advancing to the next level is simple. For scrolling, you have to create a scroll variable and change it when you move.

Hope this helped

Welcome to the Scratch Forums! This topic is really old so you shouldn't be posting on it. Please create your own topic instead.

A great way to start out a platformer would be to check out this tutorial by @griffpatch_tutor: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/67727504/

Are you looking for a PC platformer or mobile friendly one or either?

Use this code

.
But first make a backdrop of the platform.

when green flag clicked
go to x: () y: ()
set [ Xv] to [0]
set [ Yv] to [0]
forever
if <key ( left arrow ) pressed> then
change [ Xv] by (-1)
end
if <key ( right arrow ) pressed> then
change [ Xv] by (1)
end
set [ Xv] to ((Xv) * (0.9))
change x by (Xv)
if <touching color [#Platform color] ?> then
change y by (1)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
change y by (1)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
change y by (1)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
change y by (1)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
change y by (1)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
change x by ((Xv) * (-1))
if <key [ up arrow] pressed?> then
if <(Xv) > [0]> then

  

else
set [ Xv] to [5]
end
set [ Yv] to [10]
  

else
set [ Xv] to [0]
end
end
end
end
end
end
end
change [ Yv] by (-1)
change y by (Yv)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
change y by ((Yv) * (-1))
set [ Yv] to [0]
end
change y by (-1)
if <touching color [#platform color] ?> then
if <key [ up arrow] pressed?> then
set [ Yv] to [15]
end
end
change y by (1)
end

Hope that worked for you!!!

Please don't make a generic platformer! I know you want to get popular, but making generic platformers without creativity is not the way to go! I highly recommend being unique in your platformer.

Awsome_Scratcher_543

Look at Professor Blue's(FUNUT's) tutorial here.

define Platform(Jump Height)(Gravity)(Friction)(Running Speed)
if <<key [right arrow v] pressed?> or <key [d v] pressed?>> then
point in direction (90 v)
change [XV v] by (Running Speed)
end
if <<key [left arrow v] pressed?> or <key [a v] pressed?>> then
change [XV v] by ((Running Speed) * (-1))
end
change [XV v] by ((XV)*(Friction))
change x by (XV)

continued…

@I_am_a_nerd28 used a lot of if-else blocks, to minimize the if-else blocks use a repeat until block.

I literally made a project for this topic without even realising. Go to https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/396373021/
