This is an expansion of Shaun Spalding's GameMaker 1.4 - Platformer Tutorial. It was made with GameMaker: Studio 2, however, so you won't be able to use this with earlier versions of GameMaker.

There are two versions, Basic Edition and Advanced Edition. Advanced is paid, but has a number of improvements and has an exe demo.

The Basic Edition features the following:

  • Coyote time support [allows the player to jump a few frames after walking off a platform]
  • Input buffering support [accepts a jump input while in the air if just a few frames away from colliding with the ground]
  • Horizontal acceleration support (as opposed to fixed acceleration)
  • Double jump support (or any number of jumps!)

The Advanced Edition features the following improvements over the Basic Edition:

  • Converted to GMS:2.3 
  • Pause Supported
  • Gamepads Supported
  • Gamepad Reconnection System

The code is organized into scripts and regions where necessary, with lots of comments. I made this for myself to use as a basis for all my future platformers, but I figured I'd put it online since people would probably like having something very simple that has the "game-feel" stuff that modern platformers need.

This will not be updated (unless I change my mind). 

Feel free to use this code for any project, including commercial. Credit is not necessary.

Does this support slopes?

No, this is a very basic platforming shell.

Hi! Will I be able to use this in my projects? I will make sure you're credited + linked in whatever it's used in.

Yep! Free to use for any project, including commercial. Crediting optional. I'll edit the project description so this is clear for others.

I know you say this won't be updated, but would you be okay with making an executable file for this? I don't have GameMaker yet, so I would like to see this in action without it. I know, I know, this is a stupid request. Still, I'd appreciate it, even though you probably have better stuff to do.

I've been meaning to updated this to GMS:2.3 anyway, so I updated the pack and added an exe demo. The old version is exactly the same but the demo features the content in the advanced version. Enjoy!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)

Also, is this what you used to make Super Skelemania or any of your other games?

Not exactly this, but mostly yes.
