Platformers

Basically, how does one go about making a platform game in AGS. I've seen a few of them (most popular being 1213). I was just curiosu as to how you make one. Thanks.

Coding a platformer is really hard, especially using AGS since you'd have to build it from scratch.
You'd have to implement gravity, collision detection, a way of creating levels, enemy movement, etc. etc.
Even one of those is a serious challenge for an advanced coder.

You seem to be a beginner, so if I were you I'd look for another engine or start with basic stuff.

It's an example of a platformer that I'm creating. Khris is right. It's a major pain to do. Subtracting the time to make the sprites, and making the music player, it still took quite a bit of time. This isn't even scrolling, so this isn't even a complicated platformer.

The source code is in their, in case you get curious

Thanks for sharing the source code.   

This will be very useful to me as part of my game will be a platformer.

Thanks. I wasn't planning on making one. Just curious as to what's involved.

If you can understand the methods to my madness, then rip stuff out as you please.
