Hello, well today I have the final part of " how to make a Platform Game in App Inventor" . 


What is a Platform Game? 

"A platform game (or platformer) is a video game which involves guiding an avatar (player) to jump between suspended platforms, over obstacles, or both to advance the game. These challenges are known as jumping puzzles or freerunning. The player controls the jumps to avoid letting the avatar fall from platforms or miss necessary jumps. The most common unifying element of games of this genre is the JUMP button. Jumping, in this genre, may include swinging from extendable arms, as in Ristar or Bionic Commando, or bouncing from springboards or trampolines, as in Alpha Waves. These mechanics, even in the context of other genres, are commonly called platforming, a verbification of platform." Wikipedia.

This kind fo games are really good to explain you some basic stuff from App Inventor when you use the Canvas. 


So in Part 02 make a Platform game  we cover the following points:


-- Moving things in App Inventor using "Touch Down" and "Touch Up".

-- Making player "JUMP" using FLUNG (swipe)

-- Making the Player jump Forward, Bakwards or Up depending on the direction of the swipe or flung.
