Simple Platformer#

../../_images/intro_screen.png

This tutorial shows how to use Python and the Arcade library to create a 2D platformer game. You’ll learn to work with Sprites and the Tiled Map Editor to create your own games. You can add coins, ramps, moving platforms, enemies, and more.

At the end of each chapter of this tutorial you will find the full source code that chapter, as well as a command to run that chapter directly. As long as you have Arcade installed the commands will run the exact code for that chapter, so you can compare your game against the tutorial.

Currently there are a few more examples that expand beyond where the tutorial leaves off. You can see the source code for those examples as well as every chapter in the tutorial on the Arcade Github at https://github.com/pythonarcade/arcade/tree/development/arcade/examples/platform_tutorial
