Platformer in need.

I am looking for a sample in platforming, but I am looking for specific stuff.

-Not a scroller
-Cant go through the ground of floating platforms
-use the stage instead of multiple sprites
-has great movement without lagging

If you can give me a game that fits any of these things I would be entirely grateful and mention you in my project notes. Please post a link to it so I can see it. I really need your help.

SCRATCH ON!!!

Stage scrolling?  That would require hundreds of backgrounds.  Using one sprite would be best.

Re: Platformer in need.

Ok KileyMeister. lets say I would use one sprite. how do you get it to switch backgrounds then. (without making 100 scripts.) Also, wouldn't that just require 100 costumes for the sprite as well? what is the difference for not using the Stage?

Re: Platformer in need.

I have a platformer that isn't a scroller game(except for area 14), uses the stage(except for moving parts), and has good movment when downloaded, but it is a bit slow on scratch(I don't know why.). If you run into a platform from the side, it allows you to go through, but other than that, it wont let you. It's called Ninja Bob and the Crystals of Life. To get to it, you have to search for Ernie Parke's stuff and look at my projects.

Easy, like this, one sprite, three scripts (one in the background sprite, one in the stage, one in the player [come to think of it, I can integrate the stage's and the background sprite's to make it only two scripts]):

Requires no change to the sprite besides adding costumes if you want to extend it.

Is this what you had in mind?

Re: Platformer in need.

Well that helps with the backgrounds, but i wasnt looking as much as a scroller than a platform where when u reach a certain color u change backgrounds. but that infinite scroller gave me an idea 2 that i would use.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I saw "Not a Scroller" and must have somehow saw it as "Must be a Scroller."  Silly me.
