At the end of this series the player will shoot enemies with his bow, and even throw bombs to deal area of effect damage. The enemies will have path finding algorithms, and we’ll add visual effects to make a cool game you can show your friends.
** What will I learn? **
In this tutorial we continue our top down journey towards Gauntlet as we implement auto tiling for our wall, floor and shadows. We then set up an automatic method of placing the collision tiles and enemies, before introducing some homework requiring you to implement some additions yourself.

Turbo tutorial round 2! Learn by doing and throw a classic game together super fast while learning all the basics of GML code. I tend to recommend making something more “yours” than a basic clone but if nostalgia gets you motivated I won’t argue!

Gamemaker has just released a new move_and_collide function, which allows you to program simple collisions in a very efficient way. You can have a platformer with slopes with a very small amount of code.
** What will I learn? **
In this overview I show how to implement collisions using this new function, and solve a few issues you might encounter when implementing it yourself.
The First Platformer course mentioned in the video will be available shortly, but sign up to my mailing list below to be notified when it’s released, and also to receive a special coupon code at launch.

This video is focused on how to make a solid framework for a platform game in the latest version of GameMaker (v2022.1+). If you want to make a platform game while being given a more gentle introduction to GML and coding, and learn various other techniques I recommend my Complete Platformer Series instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izNXbMdu348
