I’ve been watching this series a lot lately, not for following the tutorial, but just to see how cool it is. It’s so cool to see someone work with scratch and apply complex coding concepts to it.

I expect a rush of tile-based games coming to Scratch very soon, and we’ll know it was because of your help. Thank you griffpatch! I’m thinking of making my own.
YES!!! My beautiful level is back!!!! Pfew....my eyes are square, my brain is smoking, even more grey hair .... learned on a hard way the difference between "repeat" and "repeat until".....and now so proud!!! I'm looking forward to part 7 :)
Thank you so much, I had loads of fun building my project up in this episode and explored making a loading and saving system, so people can share levels. Can't wait till the next episode :)
@griffpatch I'm a teacher and I'm loving all of this! I am hoping to introduce it to some of my middle school computer students. Edit: Found the answers to both of my problems! The save level block was missing the all important "run without screen refresh"! And my load level had a sneaky Grid Width + Grid Height instead of a Grid Width * Grid Height. Those two look far too similar. Thank you again! Can wait to see more of these!
nah fam, we have to respect the right to not follow anyone we don't feel is....um...worthy (like if everyone followed everyone, that would kind of defeat the point and clog up our feeds, wouldn't it?)...
Amazing tutorial as always! Something that would be cool to see on a future episode would be how to make a scrolling background without breaking the clone limit.
This is amazing! You are my inspiration to scratch! I joined 3 years ago and I have always been rushing to see your projects. I absolutely love GOI and Appel.
Griffpatch: Uploads Me at 5:45 AM in the morning: YES! Me: Falls back to sleep Me: Wakes up 2 hours later Me: _Cries_ What it feels like to be later than late to a griffpatch vid lol
Thanks Griffpatch! This is so useful. The way you can decrease the length of a encoded string is useful in not only level codes, but so many other things! The amount of work your put into your videos is incredible!
and griffpatch didnt make it as compact as possible (there are a lot more unicode characters tho I stopped at 90 cuz thats what I can easily write with my keyboard)
Hey Griffpatch, I thought this would be a nice idea if we could learn how to do a custom text for the editor change levels and the reset level questions. Thank you for your tutorials, they are really helpful!!!
Its fun to see how such a simple and kid friendly app like scratch, can get so complicated and mathematical, depending on how you use it. But Griffpatch, makes me understand most of it... THANKS!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
me: checks every morning to see if griffpatch posted griffpatch: posts me: I AM SPEED edit: This originally from Rohan Sachdeva, so make sure to give him some stuff too.
Amazing video as always, this one was especially important since it's a key element in most actual games. If I had to suggest an idea for upcoming parts, I'd definitely like to see more info on making unique tiles, such as coins (which you mentioned) and blocks that don't have collision, since that would allow much prettier/more detailed levels to be made. Whatever you decide to make, I think I can speak for everyone by saying we're looking forward to it!
Awesome video! Encoding that level code was smart, and i liked that specialized optimization where you removed all the empty blocks with empty strings. There are lots of smart algorithms hiding around in these videos!
When I tested it out at 20:00 the game didn’t load the previous level and made an almost blank level with a 1x2 pattern of wooden blocks and when editor mode is turned on there is no walls !!?? Pls tell me how to fix this guys
Here is an idea maybe; you could merge the multiplayer tutorial with this tutorial! That would be so awesome, thanks for all the amazing contant keep it up 👍
Oh yeah, that would be great... Actually, I don't want to learn just 8 players multiplayer, but an MMO... But I feel like that should be a different tutorial (Like once this is done, so people who don't want to do that won't be left behind.)
A small thing i added was to put a point in direction x axis of controls to handle god mode. Great tutorial btw as always, I'm looking forward for the next one!
Nice! Looking forward to the next tutorial :) Hopefully we'll make some new gameplay features such as enemies, coin pick-ups, slopes or ducking. Thanks for these tutorials, Griffpatch
Wow. I remember years ago on scratch you were (and still are!) the biggest and best scratch creator on there. I'm so happy to see that you've been doing more with RUclips lately. :)
haven't watched the full video yet, but if the tile grid list is fully made of tiles which are single digited (like 2, 9, 4 or 7, not 10, 77, 325 ect), the level code won't be separated by spaces, and the code will be fully together. Not sure if this will cause any bugs in the future, but amazing video nevertheless! Correction: For everyone with the same concern as me, the list having, or not having spaces between the tiles will make no difference. You may follow the tutorial as normal since there will be no changes, let alone bugs or problems.
Griffpatch, you have been the inspiration for me and a lot of what I do! Ions of my projects is about to hit 1k views, and I couldn’t have done it without your tutorials! Much love 💚💚
Me: *see's new video* Also Me: _Is Appel a thing anymore?_ Maybe you should take a break from this series and work on Appel. Maybe we could make those weird eye monsters throughout this game we're making!
Wow I wasn't sure what to expect from this episode since the wait, but after watching I'm not surprised this took you a bit longer than usual, what a trip indeed!
me who doesn't know what to do in the code:-"(0~0)"- Griffpatch here to save me: bla bla put code here bla x 2 bla / 2 bla can be put into 16 pixels bla
I'm having an issue with the level loading or saving (I've done the code up to 21:32, where griffpatch tests the code) where three rows will get skewed over to the left, and all tiles above will also be skewed. I haven't seen the mistake in my code yet (but I'm still looking), and it seems to only happen when I restart with the green flag. ! - POSSIBLE SOLUTION - ! I checked my a to z list again (I had checked it before but only looked to make sure z was filled in and there were 26 entries) and I had accidentally replaced u with v in the list, so this may be the fix error description: (o = empty space, x = block) I made a pillar of blocks like this: ooooXo ooooXo ooooXo ooooXo ooooXo ooooXo But when I reload after saving, it turns into this: oXoooo oXoooo ooXooo oooXoo ooooXo ooooXo If you know the solution, please reply. If I find the solution, I will reply to this comment with my solution in case anyone else has the same issue. Edit: It appears to have stopped happening after I added the code up to 23:44, although I'm not sure if that fixed it or if I had done something strange when saving before Edit 2: It isn't fixed. I tried designing a level and I exited the editor to save it. When I next pressed the green flag, the level was skewed. Edit 3: my comment editing isnt working and the comment may have been deleted, so i reposted it
It is like at first on pressing flag, everything is fine, but the left side wall is not there and the left side wall got mixed with the right side wall and got in one more layer, after few secs, the whole world gets randomized lines with 10 index blocks and the else is obviously 2 index blocks
I must say, thank you for the project until part 6! It helped me so much, just by having it as a guide. Turns out the "set length to __" was 0 when it should've been 1 :D
9:01 - Base 26 Encoded Delimiters While talking about encoding the runninglengths into letters, i see much bigger runinglengths at the bottom of the code, wich are from the whide empty area at the top of the level. for sample a "98" for a full row of empty air between the left and right wall att the 100 tiles whide level grid. How should this fit into an A-Z - encoding? So i made a decoder, that uses the style with the underscores.
Hey, I was wondering if someone could help me with this issue. (I'm 5:03 into the video) Whenever I click the save level block, the tile index counter doesn't go straight to 4001 like in the video, it slowly counts up and takes a couple minutes for it to get there. In the level store list, the numbers in the list don't update until the counter reaches 4000, so I have to wait each time until the counter reaches the number. Any tips? Edit: Nvm it fixed itself somehow lol

19:25 i'm confused as to why it's grid width * grid height? wouldn't that be when the decoder is at the top right corner? cus that's where index grid length * grid height is...
Almost more impressive than the code itself is the ideas behind them! Like the save code type at the start of codes I guess can be used if you change the type of save code used, so that you can still use old ones. Brilliant!
Yes - hindsight is great thing - and it can often be too late for things like this if you don't plan slightly ahead! Paper minecraft modulses the save code with data like module length and module type... This way the loader can skip over sections it doesn't know about, and pass the chunks off to the correct loader for that module version.
Griffpatch pls help. I followed the tutorial to a T but for some reason during the part on 20:35 it made my barrier dissapear and I can't place blocks on certain spots!
