I have been really wanting you to upload a tutorial on this teaching about enemies. I am trying to make an adventure game out of this and being able to cut an enemy down with a weapon, along with enemy spawning, and all the code for the enemies is basically the most important part of the game. I was really hoping the next video would have enemies like you suggested having a high chance of happening but when it came out I was thoroughly disappointed, especially with it being a big day and all for me. I understand enemies got just about the lowest vote for your tutorial on a platformer but It is probably a really important thing for anyone who wants to make a scratch RPG since fighting is basically the point of the game, which I think outweighs a massive amount of the votes on the other things since nearly nobody has posted a fair and up-to-date tutorial on RPGs for scratch.
Griffpatch, I love your videos because you always bring up some new mechanics to Scratch, such as tricks in the costume editor and basic rules of the coding. Keep up the great work!
Moving platforms are a doozy - you’ll want to have each moving platform able to detect when the player is on it, so you can have it affect player velocity
I think the reason the number of lives in a video game is 3 is because of pinball games. Pinball games always gave you 3 lives because it was the perfect balance between "Too few beginners never get a chance" and "too many that there aren't high stakes" Most arcade games had lives cuz you had to score the most amount points before someone else gets a turn. This series seems to be a story/puzzle game series, so I think lives should only be implemented if the game is endless or there is a point system that places a major part in the gameplay, but that's just my opinion.
I believe it's 3 lives because in binary that's 2 bits (11), since arcade games needed to save as many bits as possible, while also wanting the player to have a few additional lives. The next number is 7 with 3 bits (111) which feels excessive for most arcade games, but if you made it a nicer 5 lives, that's still 3 bits (101)
@@phasemontony Scratch is a program designed to get people into coding. That doesn't mean you can't introduce technical elements, especially when binary is one of the first things taught with higher coding.
i actually am using these tutorials and coded some parts by myself, im still using the box, but i called it boxy! and he's on an adventure to go back to his world. this platform game is coming soon!
I made the flag change from a hanging variant to a waving one instead of removing it. That is an often used checkpoint design. Or in super mario world the checkpoint is a little gate and we break the horizontal bar to activate it. Also not a compleete collect of the checkpoint. To get this to work i have tzhe checkpoint stuff in the outer if-else in the collect-script and all other items including their collection-animation and sending the clone to the void is now in the if of this outer if else. So the flag does not use the collecting-animation and i could change it savely to the seccond flag-costume instead. As the last thing of the flag-function i added a forever with the hovering-animation to keep the activated flag animated.
Also, this made me really comfused for a moment: Griffpatch: click on the, hmmm(changing to the appel picture using camstasia), the apple sprite. Me: bruh, when did he changed the costumes
For my project, I added something called the "1 UP Flag" it is a checkpoint that's placed every now and then that not only saves the spot, but it also replenishes 1 life if you lost it.
Hi Griffpatch! I am working on a remix of your game "Appel" in which I put my own levels. To do this, all you have to do is enter the correct values in the "Levels" list. However, I noticed that the level codes I created contain "Z" instead of spaces. So I replaced all the "Z" in my code with spaces with a simple program. But there was still a problem: the level was not starting. My code starts with 1240434196, and I noticed that in several of your levels the code starts with "196", so I deleted the digits before 196 and the level worked! But a problem still persists: no more commands work. There are no more groups, no more objects that only start at a certain time, and everything is out of sync! I have three questions: How to deal with that? What is the point of "1240434" just before "196"? How to change the color of the level? (green, light blue, dark blue, brown) Thank you ! :D PS: And apart from V2, V3 and V4 for moving platforms, are there any other secret commands?
Wowsers good work :) - The number at the start is probably the width of the level in blocks. I would have through all this data would be stored in the save codes? The replaced characters were just to make copy and pasting easier as spaces are tricky in codes.
Upcoming episodes: swimming, trampoline, enemies (you can kill them), use your counter tutorial to make the lives & collectibles a sprite instead of a variable
When I click play on the game over screen my level doesn’t load in the out line stamp from the other video loads but then the level disappears and I am stuck falling and falling until my scene is like 1000000000000 then it just stops all scripts idk what is going on??? Can someone help me please
Game over dudes! To handle this, we'll introduce a broadcast, with a new message of *_enjoy this new delicious Nescafé Iced Cappucino, paired with a Spotify 6-minute session_* A...nother way to prevent clone exponentiation would be to just delete the clones if 1=1 or identity isn't parent before making more.
I think you should add a shop with items. Maybe you can make apples as a currency. Some of the items you could buy are an extra life, a key, or an item that makes you invincible for 15 seconds.
Hey griffpatch, awesome vid. Just a question, how do you change it to that background? I've got the pen code lined up, but I still can't figure it out.
8:40 The answer to this is, and I cannot stress this enough, NOT DEFINITIVE. In some cases, a game over could add well-deserved tension and encourage careful play. However, other times, it can be demotivating and add undue stress. If Celeste or, to use a Scratch game, Archery Parasol had limited lives, they would both be less fun. Limited lives can be good when the game is easy enough where it won’t be too demoralizing, but hard enough that the system is relevant, and complex enough that players can become more skilled at older segments and master them, making the replays less dull.

Thank you griffpatch, you inspired me to make my own scratch tutorials
Hey griff, im a teen and im intrested in programming, and your tutorials and guides have been a massive inspiration for me, thank you :)
That's awesome! - Keep up the good work!
Have luck!
I can’t explain how great this video is! There are literally no words for it! You guys are so amazing! Keep up the good work! 🥰

But online multiplayer
Maybe in some weird way you could combine his Mario tutorial with his lemonoids tutorial

@@griffpatch Sure! they are so useful
I keep watching your videos over and over because the way you explain it and the queality is insane

Yes! Part 10 of the classic platformer!
Yay it's here!!
@ethan qiu me too!
I feel that 9 starting lives would be more fitting, although no need to break from convention :)
(:
Very funny
Ah becuase cats have 9 lives and the player is a cat.
9? What an arbitrary nu- OHH I GET IT-
You are so good at this, I did this in a different themed game and it STILL WORKED 😮
Griffpatch, I love your videos because you always bring up some new mechanics to Scratch, such as tricks in the costume editor and basic rules of the coding. Keep up the great work!
Yesssssss Part 10 finally came out! I was waiting like crazy then I saw it!!!
Thanks Griffpatch, because of your inspiration. Now, I am learning HTML, PYTHON, CSS, JAVA, BOOTSTRAP.

You are the mosg underrated channels I have ever seen. U def deserve more subs. Best scratcher and best scratch youtuber!
Yes! I Love This! I'm Probably Tired Right Now But I'll Work on it Soon.

Another reason to not use too many was because it could cause the arcade to lose money.
@@legendgames128 yep, same with casinos
the way he said "it's game over dudes" was so funny 😆
Also the scratch poggers face
Enemies next?
Also, there is a project called “the Great big cave” and I feel like he got access to every script ever
I played that once.
I think it's better to do power-ups next.
I love this check point because it will make our platformer easier without came back to the start! Nice coding griffpatch
Road To 100K Subscribers! Congrats Griffpatch!
Now this makes the platformer a real game!
The checkpoints? Heck yes. The lives? Debatably.
6:54 to make the script shorter you can put the "Start sound wand" block at the top of the else.
I put it in there so you could chose another sound for the checkpoints... but you are right! Good optimisation
Enemies and trampolines would be pretty neat things to add eventually
Thank you griffpatch for using my idea!
Oh! Cool! I've been waiting for this!
Hope you like it!
@@griffpatch yes very good! thx!

Trampolines are very easy, when touching it broadcast the player then make the player bounce by setting speed y to between 20 to 30
