Fun with Rotating Platforms | 12. Scratch Platformer Tutorial

Create Amazing Rotating Platforms in Scratch that lift and spin, push and even crush the player. We explore different platform shapes, as well as how to add more than one moving or rotating platform to a single scene. This episode of the Classic Scratch Platformer is unmissable and full of awesome coding tips for beginners and advanced scratch coders alike! We cover the basic principle, and even use rotation matrix maths to translate the player position in 2d space.

My tutorials are for all budding game & software developers using Code Blocks. Scratch On guys!

When I was 9 I found your account on Scratch, you amazed me with what you could do with it and inspired me to start teaching myself how to code. Now I'm finishing my 2nd semester of CS at university and am loving it still. Just wanted to say thank you for inspiring me as a kid.

This is amazing! This will change the overly generic platformers to actually fun games

Griffpatch, one day could you do code live stream (turn off chat or delayed chat for bots to moderate if necessary)
Or you could do something like: day 1 of brainstorming, day 2 of coding, day 3 of drawing, ...
Love to see your thought process 🥰

Rotating platforms! Oh my gosh this helps a lot to take my scratch project to the next level! I’m doing all kinds of crazy things, wall jumping, but do it quickly! The walls are rotating! :) - keep up the great work Griffpatch!

[Resseguie]

This is great. I love how the repositioning of the feet on the rotating platforms "just works" as well from previous episodes.

I'm guessing you could extend your custom block to not only take a turn speed but also an x and/or y change speed. Then you could have combinations of turning and moving platforms together! Oh the chaos possible!

This is incredible! This episode makes me wanna make loads of levels! Also, I want to make a suggestion, can you please add a one-way block. You can’t pass through this block in a specific direction! Pleasee I really want this feature!

[mattsnows]

Amazing. I love how you showcase how to make the more involved parts of platformers but leave the overall creativity to the viewer.

You know, you should do some tutorials about 3D-multiplayer karting. I'd LOVE to follow some tutorials on that topic.

[ItsJust_WolF]

can you give a tutorial on how to add a different kind of enemy because it doesn't work for me no matter what i do

[eyallevin]

Wow, I love this tutorial. Not that I didn't know this before but I appreciate how you break things down step by step. I will always be grateful so thank you

[Twingamerdudes]

Wow, this is really cool, been a while since the last real tutorial (not just only bug fixing). Keep up the work

Hello Griffpatch
This is really great! In my opinion, you are uploading the most useful videos in the field of scratching! Thanks
Please include episode 13, we are very eager for it🤩

[onqr]

You're really good at making these tutorials at a fast pace!

[AestheticGamerJourney]

this is just impressive thx griffpatch for these series, this is probably my favorite series, next is the mario (aka Tile Scrolling Platformer game) which i am also excited for its (maybe) 20th ep!

[Speed-TV]

Griffpatch should try to show us water physics tutorial one day!

[Thyflooder]

this is sick, i have so many level design ideas for this. i cant wait to test them out

[ilipog]

Now this is great there is one thing I would add though. POWER UPS! Imagine what scratchy can do with a jetpack and what amazing projects it would inspire or scratchy burning Ennemys with a fireball as for the costumes changes we could use the color change block it is a more "efficient" Way because we don't have to remake all the costumes

[BlindSpotOffTheBall]

Griffpatch, you always make my day. I just got into an argument with my parents and my sadness level is this helped me so much and I love your channel. You are the Best :D

[Milan]

Love you so much for all this! I'm subscribed so I found this video!
