Creating Games in CodeMonkey – Platformer, Frogger & Sprite Animation!

In today’s walkthrough, we dive into the Game Creation section of CodeMonkey and explore three powerful mini-courses: Platformer Frogger Sprite Animation These modules take students beyond simple text-based programming and move them into full game design; coding movement, collisions, animations, timers, power-ups and more. If you’re teaching coding in primary or secondary classrooms, this is one of the most accessible and exciting ways to build genuine problem-solving skills. I guide you through: ✔️ The new editor layout for game creation ✔️ Building core mechanics using keyboard inputs ✔️ Adding jumps, collisions, power-ups and timers ✔️ Reviewing teacher resources and ready-made slides ✔️ Exploring complex examples as challenges progress ✔️ Trying Frogger-style gameplay ✔️ Using CodeMonkey’s example sprite animations to show what’s possible Whether you're looking to enrich your computing curriculum or empower students to create their first fully functional games, these three modules give you everything you need.
