Skills:
Visual / Block Coding80%
Code a Platformer Game in Scratch Code Blocks - We add player animation with the help of the Scratch Cat Walk Cycle costumes, but to do this we need to first learn all about hitboxes. This allows us to get around the issue of getting our head and other body parts stuck on the edge of platforms! My tutorials are for all budding game & software developers, so Scratch On!
