Basic Platformer Tutorial Livecode.

Post by faber3d » Tue Jan 23, 2024 5:35 pm

The first basic platformer tutorial is now ready, with very simple coding and a detailed step-by-step process to make it easier to learn.

It starts with a very simple example that uses basic toolbar elements to understand the game logic, then we replace these elements with custom gifs and images to improve the game design.

In addition to the .PDF tutorial, you will find 3 attachments of the development process to help you.

In this first tutorial you will learn about:

- Gravity.
- Character movements.
- Key lock.
- Collision detection.
- Character jumps.
- Use of Gifs.

The tutorial arises from the need to learn the basic concepts of a platform game in Livecode with a simpler methodology for those users who have had difficulties learning from complex examples that have reduced their implementation.


Note:

-The code used in this tutorial is different from that used in other projects on the page.
- In the next tutorial we will see how the character moves through different scenarios and the creation of levels.
- I am also developing tutorials for RPG games with Livecode.

The variety in platformer games is very great.

The well-known monster trucks are another example that can also be developed with Livecode.

All is Creativity.

Note:

The gravity variable only has three lines of code, that's how simple LC is.

Why do I feel that this, undoubtedly, clever tutorial would be even better if we could download the stacks?

Regards richmond62

These days I have been thinking a lot about your proposal because some of my stacks are commercial and not free.

I will try to rethink how to make my stacks more accessible. Image

The last thing I can recommend if you do not want to use the buttons independently as platforms, you can make a design of all of them in a single Transparent image (.PNG) or gather all the buttons that are part of the platform in groups, to program and control in a more appropriate way their actions with the character.

Not all games are animated gifs or sprites, we can also use creative geometric designs in our platform games or in our other projects.
