Title: Platform Tutorial or Source code?
Post by: Kordman916 on February 04, 2011, 02:49:58 am

Hey Everyone,

I really like SFML and I want to start programming a platforming game (Eg: Mario or Sonic) but I wondered...

Are there any platform game tutorials or any projects with source code released that I could look at?

And if not could someone point me to a place to start learning about programming a platform game?

Thanks in advance,
Kordman916

I only know jnrdev, but the page has gone offline in the meanwhile. You can still find the tutorial in the web archive (http://web.archive.org/web/20071018032333/http://jnrdev.72dpiarmy.com/) or in the Allegro wiki (http://wiki.allegro.cc/index.php?title=Pixelate:Issue_13/jnrdev#1_-_tilebased_collision_detection_and_response).

if you are merely interested in the logic required to create a game take a look at this flixel tutorial.

Of course this is on flixel which is a 2d game library so you will have to implement a more robust sprite, state management, and collisions among other things if you plan to use SFML.
