There is some different ways people go about this, but a great way is to make it is by pushing yourself out of a platform repeatedly until you are out of it. Put it in a custom block loop and run it without screen refresh, and it should work fine. Things are pretty easy from there. For a better explanation, see youtube.com/@griffpatch and find his first tutorial on how to code a classic platformer. Hope this helps!

Let's say you have a sprite, which you want to have collisions with. To start with this method, you will need to make the player change direction depending on which way it's moving. The following code is an example of what the code could be in the player sprite (with WASD controls):

It's important to note with this method that firstly, if you have a jumping system, when the player character is falling back down you will have to make the sprite face down (180), and second of, if you have a player character that isn't just a ball, then it will of course rotate visually as well when it changes direction. A solution for this is to have an invisible “player guide” sprite that does all the movement, that the main player sprite with all the visuals constantly teleports to. If you need more info and examples, let me know. Next, put this code in the player sprite (this is what will actually do the collisions):

You can change the number of steps in the

block if it's to slow. For example,

would be faster than

If you have any questions, let me know. I haven't done much work with collisions, but this should work.

This just supplies the code for when you touch the wall, but not the movement code itself. For the movement code, instead of moving two steps, you change the variables x and y appropriately. If this is too confusing, I can help explain a little more clearer.
