Hi all.

I wrote a big tutorial the last 2 weeks about how to create a 2D Jump and run. In word it was all in all around 108 pages big, and it covers 24 chapters about things like gameplay, events, editor, mapformats, bug-fixing, level-design, campaigns, credits, menus, user-interaction, simple Collision etc.
In order to demonstrate all the techniques I also wrote a game of nearly 2,400 lines called "Dot adventures", which develops through the tutorial to an interesting and more or less working 2D Platformer.

I am also making a WIP-Thread about the game and will post the link later.

At first here's a screenshot of the game. As you can see the "graphics" is very bad, but the game has some interesting features.



In this screenshot you can see platforms (grey horizontal lines), switches (grey boxes with dark-grey or red boxes inside), zones (very dark-grey boxes) and on the left side the player (yellow dot).

I would also post a video but GameCam, whyever, doesn't want to record one for this game.

So, back to the tutorial.

You can find it here:

It's probably so long that nobody wants to read it... but maybe someone does. Maybe even just a certain chapter.. or whatever.

If you first want to test the game, there are two versions uploaded (They are still bugged and some levels don't really work. But all in all it's playable).



1. Editor-Version (You are able to edit your maps in realtime)

2. Game-Version (You can also build maps here, so all in all it's the same, just not that cool *cough*)

I invested much time in it and tried to put as much of my knowledge into this tutorial as possible. Of course there are probably mistakes in the tutorial though, and some techniques might be unprofessional or inefficient or whatever, so please tell me if you find anything wrong.

I don't know what more to say, so I'll stop writing now.

Have fun with it
Mr Kohlenstoff

Nice tut! Just wat I was looking for! y aren't people posting lol?!

for some reason by comp doesn't support .rar's, so can you post as .zip as well? Would be much appreciated.

Yes, I will do today, in some hours, now I don't have any time.

@Grim Reaper: Thanks.

Finally I uploaded a zip-file of the updated project. Now there's also an ingame-menu.

Aaah, I remember back in the days, where I would look at the shiny stuff the Underware Design guy made, and I was very jealous and wanted to be able to do it, but his cool looking blocks made it look too hard. If only you made this 4-5 years ago Oh well, too late, but there is still a chance for the newer dudes around here. Good job.

By the way, I put this in the tutorial sticky on this board the moment I saw it

Sweet, good 4 u Mr Kohlenstoff

Thanks, Mr Kohlenstoff, and No, WindowsKiller, I don't have WinRAR installed. I've tried, and the download (the demo version) and there's soemthing wrong with the Internet Expllorer downloader, but it won't download properly, on my comp at least. Maybe its coz it's in .rar format

<nevermind>

@Zotoaster and Grim Reaper: Thanks for your support.


@Everyone: I am still waiting for some criticism or suggestions.
