The No-Code Revolution | Advanced 2D Platformer

Learn to add a smooth camera that follows the player using a behavior attached to the player, not an external camera, and adjust x and y catch-up speeds for smoothness.

Learn to set up and call external events in GDevelop, link them across scenes, and use a state variable and subevents to delete the player.

Learn to transition between idle and run states in a 2D platformer. Use a state variable (0 idle, 1 run) with on-floor and moving conditions, plus not moving to revert.

Flip the player horizontally based on the right key and left key in a Gdevelop setup, using a condition and activate flipping yes or no to control facing direction.

Create the fall state and falling animation in a no-code 2d platformer using an external state and transitions. Build this with a finite state machine linking idle, run, and jump.

Learn to implement wall sliding and wall jumping by adding a wall slide state, flipping the animation in Piskel, and configuring the external event and state logic.

Master wall jumping and wall sliding in a no-code advanced 2d platformer by aligning collision masks with animations and wiring finite state machine transitions for jump, fall, idle, and run.

Organize your no-code platformer events with clear comments and event groups to navigate finite state machines quickly, read triggers, and debug idle, run, jump, and fall states.

Define a new slash state, import and assign the slash animation, and trigger transitions from idle or running when the Z key is pressed, enabling fast melee combat.

Limit movement during slashing by zeroing jump speed, current speed, and maximum speed, preventing flipping, removing stray dash events, and returning to idle when the slash animation finishes.

Create invisible hitboxes by attaching points to the player and spawning the hitbox at the slash frame; flip for the opposite direction and trigger on frame two.

Create a skeleton patrol enemy that moves left and right using the platform behavior, with walk and death animations, and two booleans (direction and death) to control movement and states.

Learn to implement back-and-forth movement for a skeleton enemy with a timed extension, resizing the sprite and setting distance, speed (300 px/s), and max time, then preview the motion.

Learn to defeat individual skeleton patrols using a slash hitbox: detect collision, set the skeleton's death boolean to true, trigger death animation, stop movement, and set depth.

Configure the no-code platformer death state by adding a death animation, creating an external event named player_death, and linking a state transition triggered when state equals six to disable movement.

Create a stationary guarding enemy that attacks when the player is close, using idle, attack, and death states managed by a finite state machine with instance state and external events.

Implement an idle skeleton guard that tracks and faces the player, adds gravity, and flips toward the player using center and origin points, then triggers an attack state on proximity.

Make the guard skeleton die on slash hit or collision. Transition from idle or smack to a death state with a death animation, and trigger player death when touched.

Create a new level with the tile map editor using all tiles, then edit the platform object's behaviors and settings to vary speed and finalize your project.
