Here is a very basic Platform Template i threw together real quick to help beginners learn the basics. I know, it's not really a tutorial, but pretty much every line of code has a description of what it does, and how it effects the player. Hopefully this should be plenty to get you started in making your very own, Platform Master Piece!


FEATURES:

* Basic player movement (keyboard keys = movement).

* Basic score (coins to collect + boxes to hit).

* Player Lives ( losing life + getting a game-over).

* Re-spawn ( if you die, you'll re-spawn at the beginning on the level).

* Very basic enemy AI ( just enemy movement + death).



Here's a couple of screen shots to show you what I mean by basic:










I hope this helps someone out there. If you feel confused or lost, PM me, and I will do my best to explain it to you!
No credit needed, and feel free to use any of the graphics in this template, or just switch them out for your own graphics!

Thanks Ripper! Just playing around with it. You gonna supply more templates?

You're welcome! And I yup I was actually thinking about doing an "iPhone platformer" next, but that might take a bit of time. It's more complicated, but I think it will be worth it.

Thanks this helped alot I just joined today so I really have no idea on anything especially coding!

You're welcome! Glad it helped. If ya have any questions feel free to ask

Hi RipperR7420,

I have used your template as my starting point and it was unbelievable good way to learn how to use this engine. The game i am building atm is directly built from your template! It has morphed a fair bit now though, but credit where credit is due!
I've got some info in the game dev thread if you would like to check it out.

Thanks again

thx i will try it

@TimberDragon I am glad this helped! And I always look forward to seeing games made with GE! I'll be sure to head over there and check it out

Thanks, Ripper. As a newbie with no idea what I'm doing this has been a great help, I feel like I've achieved something
