For a broad question like this you should search for tutorials, then come back to this forum if you come up against any specific problems. If you do, be sure to click share on your project and include a link in your post.

Good luck with your project.

Griffpatch has a great platformer tutorial which I highly recomend.
Check it out and good luck.

You'll get tons of results if you search up “platformer tutorial” or “platform base”.

There is a youtube video from @pulljosh. Just type

TUTORIAL: Creating a Quality Platformer in Scratch (Revisited)

To combine a platformer with a scroller my recommendation is to test the movement of the player first in platformer mode (by changing x and/or y), test for validity and then undo the move. For a move that you identified as valid you then make the move properly by changing scrollx/y. That is likely to be a lot quicker than testing the movement by changing scrollx/y and testing validity for every other object. If you do that combining the two types of game is just a case of being able to do each separately and understanding how they work.

To close this aged forum I can say that I have learnt a lot in the past two years and using my newfound knowledge I could probably now make a platformer, though I no longer want to. If anyone else needs help, you can just ask. I've started moving away from Scratch however and moved to more complex/better ways of creating projects.

Thank you all for your responses.
