I recently shared a scrolling platformer called Boogaloo Boy. In it, you're supposed to outrun “the Boogaloo” and make it to the Bunker. To open the Bunker you have to collect all the keys in the game. Read more about the project below.

As it is, the game is quite short. A draft if you will. I think it would be great to add lots of exciting levels, made by the community. To add a level, simply follow the instructions below to remix, and leave a comment if you want me to add it to Boogaloo Boy 2, with credit.

Creating a new level for Boogaloo Boy
Start by remixing Boogaloo Boy.

The easiest way to make your own level segment, is to just change an existing costume in the Ground sprite. I suggest costume number 2, which doesn't have a Key. In the vector editor, zoom out completely so that you see the upper and lower black rectangles. You can remove or edit all but these rectangles, they help align the level segment when scrolling (so be careful not to move them either).

To add a level segment instead:

• Duplicate one of the costumes in the Ground sprite (not the last one, bunker). The costume names are not important, they will play in the costume order. Move your level (scrolling segment) to where you want it to appear in the game. It's ok to just modify one of the exsiting costumes, but please don't make it too similar. The important thing is to keep (and don't move) the two black rectangles present in all the levels, one at the top and one at the bottom.
  
• The Lava sprite uses a list to indicate he Y of “lava” on that level. Zero indicates no lava on that level, which means, if you add a level (in Ground) after level 5 (which have lava at Y=-180) you don't really have to change anything in the Lava sprite.
  
• If you don't add any keys to the game, and you add a level (in Ground) after level 7, you don't have to change anything in the Keys sprite. If you insert Ground costumes before level 7, you need to add corresponding empty costumes in Keys. If you add Keys costumes (with new keys), you need to update the “Number of keys” variable in the Keys sprite, or the bunker door will not open.
  
• The Platforms sprite can be ignored for now.
  
• In the Green Flag hat block of the Player sprite: change the variable “Number of levels” to indicate how many Ground etc. costumes your remix have.
  

Please test your remix, to make sure it's possible to complete.

If you want to have your level(s) added to Boogaloo Boy 2, please don't change anything else in the game.

That should be it, but please let me know if you run in to any problems.

More about the project
Music and sound is from the Scratch library. Music is the Bell Toll effect + the Trap Beat loop. Also used are the sounds Splash (reversed, for game over), Ship Bell (for collected keys), Teleport (for countdown) and Machine (normal + reversed, for bunker hatch).

I've drawn some of the art (e.g. the shopping cart, the bunker hatch), but most of it is modified from the Scratch library. Can you spot the Octopus or the Pufferfish in the game?

While much of the code is by me (@kriblo), the core of the project is a combination of two of @griffpatch_tutor's projects:

• Player loop with controls and gravity are from @griffpatch_tutor's excellent platformer tutorial ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/67727504/ )
  
• The method of broadcast and looping is from @griffpatch_tutor's project “Scrolling Project (YouTube #1)” - ( https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/217660921 )
  

Texts were created in Google Slides and exported as vector graphics (SVG). The Game Over / You Win costumes were cut out in InkScape (free software), and animated using the fish eye graphic effect.
