Code a Platformer Game | 2. Next Level

How to Code a Platformer Game in Scratch Code Blocks with griffpatch. Part 2 of this tutorial covers moving back and forward between level scenes, or to the next level. Also we switch to using Sprite Sensing instead of Color Sensing for much more colorful levels! Lastly we fix the common bug of getting stuck in the ground when changing level - super! My tutorials are for all budding game & software developers, so Scratch On!

Me: looks away for 1 second.
Griffpatch: Made the rest of the game.

One thing to note if you are having problems The Level sprite must have a 'clear' transparent background, no filled background behind the player. If you want a background behind the player, this must remain in the stage backdrop.
ALSO - If the player is not moving off screen, try reducing the "IF x position > 235" to something just a little less until it works (Try > 230)

I ♥ scratch! It's the best coding thing out there for beginners and I am so glad you are making tutorials for us (the viewers). I have been on scratch for over a year, and I have never heard of the techniques you use. Thank you!

[timandjoshbricks]

Hi Griffpatch, Thank you so much for these amazing tutorials!!
My son(8) and I (30s) are having a great time learning and making this!

[VBrick]

I love these tutorials! I love how you showed your tip on how to flip it; without making it go on side and not on the edge! Best tip!

[stevethepuppet]

OGs will remember the old scrolling platform tutorial

[prohakerofficial]

Normally I sleep on these videos, but your voice is so entertaining that I watch you often! :D

[waleedalshammari]

I missed your high-quality tutorials. These feel like they could air on TV with how professional they are! Good work!

[TETNTM]

out of all you're serieses, this motivates me to do scratch the most

[gamergirlxdgames]

The way i did it was using the touching color blocks is easy because my blocks had a black outline so i could make it all kinds of different colors, plus the outline makes it POP out.

30:05 you can make an if statement to detect if the scene variable is more then our max scene or less then our min scene

[ataharkhan]

Hello, Griffpatch I just wanted to thank you for the tutorial it helped me a lot the only thing that I am thinking is that like the way you teach nobody else can copy that
that was some amazing teaching, thanks again

13:13 Fun fact: Instead of having to select everything using Ctrl + A (Cmd + A for Mac) then flipping it horizontally/vertically, if you flip a costume/backdrop horizontally/vertically without selecting ANYTHING at all, it flips the whole costume/backdrop horizontally/vertically! Same when you delete stuff from the costume/backdrop without selecting anything (it deletes everything in the costume/backdrop but not the costume/backdrop itself)!
