how do i make a platformer game?

im new to scratch and can only make the jumping and moving scripts so far, even though  i havent really made any of it yet. i want to make a hard, leveled platformer game with a main menu with credits and level select (and play button obviously). a game where you have to get to the teleporter at the highest platform. try to drop me as much information as possible. seriously, anything that involves a script besides moving, try to help me with. ESPECIALLY with the main menu and level select.

Re: how do i make a platformer game?

By "level select" do you mean like lvl 1, lvl 2, etc. or easy, medium, hard?

I think you should start off easy with point and click games, then move on to the hard stuff, like velocity and scrolling...  smile


Hai.

Try looking at a platformer base on Scratch and look at those scripts.

Re: how do i make a platformer game?

frizzle what exactly do you mean by level select?  Is the main menu, level select, and credits the only thing you need to know right now?  Because, as I posted earlier, I'm making a tutorial for you and need to know.

By level select do you mean easy, normal, hard, or level 1m level 2, level 3, etc?
