    Does wall jumping feature make the slip block useless now?
  • @dazcar2203
    this really is feeling like a more high quality remake of that platformer tutorial on scratch you made a while ago. you did the hitboxes better, the animations better, and now the variable jump height and the wall jumps better.

    This platformer series is coming along just as I dusted off my old platformer project, and it's been helping heaps! Your videos on pathfinding were perfect for a boss idea I had too. I've already programmed this kind of wall jumping but I'm really excited to learn about moving platforms next week!

    griffpatch: Itā€™s fine if youā€™d like your player to jump off the wall rapidly Also griffpatch: We are striving for excellence, so we need to prevent the player from pulling this off
  • @nick14147
    Hey Griffpatch, i love how you visuallize the physics to make it better to unterstand! Go on with that!
  • @earl.youtube
    I love how you go out of your own time to educate people! Keep up the good work! šŸ‘
  • @SillyArcade
    I watched this channel years ago to start coding a fun game. I use gamemaker now, but these tutorials are still really cool! Cant wait to see this channel hit 1 million subscribers in, probably 2 years knowing youtube!
  • @soapfaces
    This tutorial was very helpful! Iā€™ve never known how to do wall jumps correctly, and this was just what I needed. Thanks again Griffpatch
  • @CrispyXLYT
    i love how you said 'WHEE!' as you were playing with a long jump duration. absolutely epic!
  • Griffpatch you legend, another upload straight off the bat! Keep up the great content
  • Love that when making my spider man game, I just had to set the speed y to 0 when wall sliding, and that was it for the basic wall sticking! Love your stuff griffpatch!
  • @aanchal2357
    And I have been watching your videos for two whole years and I still just love it so keep it up!
  • Simply beautiful, beautifully simple. Just like all your tutorials, love how you solved all the problems associated with it!
  • Hello! I actually learned more than the tutorial itself from this series.Awesome VIDEO! I would like another series on open world scrolling survival RPG game. Itll be cool!
  • Griffpatch, Your projects are the best, I always learn so much from you, I am always up to date with all your tutorials, I Don't know how to thank you, Keep Scratching On Buddy!!!. šŸ˜Š
  • In the set costume script in the first if condition, you can put "wall slide > 0 and speed y < 0" to prevent the wall slide animation from playing when jumping up a wall
  • Guys say a very big thank you to griffpatch for creating all the costumes for us and Helping us for coding too ! How great hearted you are griffpatch !šŸ˜Š
  • I Cannot Stop Watching Your Videos. Keep up the super great content. Exited for the next episodes
