How do you make gravity using code?

XXXXSandstormXXXX

Does anyone know how u make gravity, because I want to make a platformer, but I don't get how u do it, and I watched a YouTube tutorial, but the person was talking really fast, and I didn't know half of what he was saying….

Thx!

Hi XXXXSandstormXXXX,

scratch___user12345 is a regular in the Help forum, and assists many scratchers. They are trying to help you by asking if you can share a project where you have either tried to implement gravity (but it isn't working right) or else a platformer you're working on that you'd like to add gravity in.

If you aren't started with the project yet, you might try asking if anyone has a very simple platformer with gravity you can look at, or knows of a really good tutorial. (Sorry, I haven't done a platformer yet, or I would help.)

I made a example project showing jumping and gravity. It has a “Y speed” variable that holds the value that the y is changed by every frame. then every time it moves it checks if it is touching the level, if so it undo's the action. then it checks if it had to undo the action, and if the “Y speed” was less than 0. if these both are true that means the player just hit the ground after falling, and then the program knows that the user can jump again. this is to prevent the user from jumping while in mid-air.

This is self explanatory. Use this script:

when green flag clicked
set [gravity v] to [0]
forever
change y by (gravity)
change [gravity v] by (-1)
end
