Even better (high speed) moving platforms
High speed moving platforms present us with an issue. Let’s see how to fix them and obtain bulletproof movement and collisions.
Better moving platforms
This article is about better moving platforms in GameMaker which can carry multiple objects without lags and with pixel perfect collisions.
Moving Platforms – Horizontal and Vertical
Here’s how to code vertical and horizontal moving platforms in GameMaker Studio 2.
Jump through / one way platforms
In this article we’ll see how to implement jump through / one way platforms. If you remember from my previous article, we kept a separate object hierarchy for jump through / one way platforms. That’s because we use them differently in our collision checking; had we made them children of solid objects, we would have…
How to code a platformer engine
In this series, we’ll see how to code a platformer engine in GameMaker Studio 2. It’s mainly for low resolution games but it can be tweaked to either simulate fluid, hi-res movement or to accomodate optimized collision code for hi-res games. This engine It will include pixel perfect movement slopes moving platforms jump through platforms…
My Game Development setup
Not relevant anymoreThings changed quite a bit and thought I’m still using the same notebook, I’m now a happy Windows 10 user running GameMaker Studio 2. I use Linux only when compiling via VirtualBox. I’ll keep this short and sweet. Whenever I tell people that I have a notebook, they usually reply with something like…
