How to create a tiled scrolling platformer in scratch
Games that use scrolling tile grids for their levels are hugely common and feature in many of the best games that we all love to play (like Mario or Geometry dash). Today we will begin to build such an engine in Scratch.
*** Starter project link: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/485855713 ***
In this tutorial we will learn how to:
* carefully ensure our tiles costumes are aligned to the grid
* create sprite clones in columns, then entire grids
* use custom blocks to speed up cloning
* add scrolling to the grid
* implement looped scrolling to avoid the 300 clone limit
* expand to use the full screen
* bypass the sprite fencing to allow sprites off-screen
I have used this very technique to create Paper Minecraft, Geometry Dash, Scratchnapped, Epic Ninja, Turrican 2, Appel and so many more games. Hopefully you will find this tutorial easy to follow and helpful.
