Introduction to Professional Game Development with Construct

Build a Pokémon-like character that moves on a 2D grid with tile movement in Construct, using up, down, left, right walk animations from sprite frames and a centered origin.

Review section two work: update the project, add Palmos, and create four directional animations with keyboard events; implement tile-based collision and cave door teleport for NPC on a grid.

Explore physics behavior in a construct game by launching a circle with force toward the mouse, using gravity, circle and box collisions, and immovable ground to destroy blocks and enemies.

Simulate planet gravity by turning off global gravity and applying a center-directed force toward a planet, using a shared gravity variable and activating it only when a planet exists.

Explore implementing a dynamic progress bar tied to enemy count, physics with gravity and collisions, health and hurt animations, impulse explosions, and level progression.

Learn to create multiple crewmates and control individual characters using a for each loop, assign distinct colors and names, and apply per-crewmate animations in Construct.

Drive walking animations by mapping each character's angle of motion to the direction of movement, refining 0-360 degree angles, and testing walls and screen boundaries for natural movement.

this lecture demonstrates randomly selecting one crewmate to be the imposter among four, while the others remain crewmates, and enabling a probabilistic kill action.

Learn to implement saving and loading in a Construct platformer, adding save and load buttons with named slots to preserve game state across levels and resume after quitting.

Learn how to use single dimensional arrays in Construct: initialize, index from zero, access and modify elements, and insert, delete, sort, reverse, push, and pop items.

Learn how to manage a high score list using a one-dimensional array in Construct, pushing new scores, displaying them with text, and sorting to show the top scores.

Learn to implement bullet behavior that moves objects with gravity, bounces off walls, accelerates toward max speed, and fires from a gun with angle-based motion.

Design a transparent background mountains tilemap in Construct, set 16x16 tiles, lock the layer, and configure solid and uncollectable tiles for collision-free scenery.
