Design Platformer Game in Scratch 3.0 – Algorithm Behind the Sample Code – Part 2

In my previous post, I explained the sample code of a static platformer game. Now, let's challenge ourselves for a scrolling platformer game. For this type of game, platform and other objects would move, while the main Player sprite would remain at a fixed position on the stage, as shown in this sample project. https://videopress.com/v/0yLzPzHa?preloadContent=metadata

Design Platformer Game in Scratch 3.0 – Algorithm Behind the Sample Code – Part 1

If you are a fan of Scratch 3.0, you must have played some of its platformer games. Platformer games (often simplified as platformer, or jump 'n' run) is a video game genre and subgenre of action games. Platformers are characterized by their heavy use of jumping and climbing to navigate the environment and reach their goal. Basically there are two types of platformer game in …

Learn Scratch by Reading and Analyzing Others’ Project – Tower Defense

If you read my recent posts, you will notice that I have analyzed several shooting games. A typical scenario of a shooting game is that you need to deploy multiple weapons from weapon library and those weapons will shoot out bullets. There are more than one ways to design weapon dragging and bullet shooting behaviors. …
