How To Make A Platformer On Scratch

Hello. Today I will explain how to move around, jump, make levels, and make an awesome title screen.

Walking (Easy)

Then, make a Forever block and an If Then block.

Now, copy the If Then block with the Key left Arrow pressed. block and Change X by -5 block below. But, change the Key Left Arrow Pressed? block into Key Right Arrow pressed? and change the ” Change X by -5 ” to 5.
