Platformer Without Sprites

https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1188703904/

Before you tell me that this is not possible and I should stop, I am very serious about this. This is my work in progress. I am trying to make a full-fledged platformer without sprites and I just need some help. I need to get the square to be drawn starting from the lower-left hand corner. It's been very hard without help thus far but I've made it here.

My alt @whimsythornberry shared a similar project.
Thanks in advance.

The first thing that came to my mind is using mozaic effect instead of pixelate effect.
Draw a costume with a large square in the outside the top left of the screen and a transparent shape in the bottom right.

It allows you to draw a square anywhere on the screen.

Ok so there is multiple ways to make a no sprite game. The most common way is to use lists as renderer and make all your code with variable. I made a no sprite platformer a long time ago using this approach. I don't have much experience with using the stamp block in the stage, but I tried to modify your code in this project to make the square a fixed sized and make it appear anywhere on the screen (+basic player controls). I would like to help you more, with the collision system but I do not know how you plan to make it so keep me informed

Oh my goodness thank you I was trying so hard to achieve this effect. If you would like to help me further that would be amazing, if you are not interested then have a good one!
