Hi !

I try to make a 2D scrolling game like Mario, Earthworm Jim, Metal Slug, etc. But I really need advices about :

  • Make tilemapping and how to use it for create levels.
  • Create a player and apply gravity, jump and collision with platforms.


Anyone can help me with tutorials ?

Hey, you can look at UFO Race that initially was supposed to be an example, that turned into a game.

You have a tilemap, physics and everything. You only need to add gravity to make it a platformer.

Also it's circle base physics, but you can easily replace it with rectangular collisions.

Else I have an object oriented platformer engine but that would be a bit steep I think ^^
