Among all game styles, platformers have stood out for decades and have proved to be a simply fun to play array of characters, blocks, tubes and monsters. In this tutorial well create a simple Mario style platformer using the Quintus HTML5 game framework, which allows you to speed up the construction of a simple and playable prototype. This will be a three part series. In this first part, well focus on constructing the level using the Tiled map editor, loading the level into the game and setting up the platform type of game basically a character that runs and jumps around a scrollable level. In the second part of the series well add enemies with different behaviours. There are other jams that require the game source to be submitted. What we wanted to do with Open Jam is promote not only open source games, but open source game. Broken Robot Love is a game I started creating at a game jam in Winnipeg, about a little robot that is seeking his human companion. Its a crazy puzzle platformer. The Lion King is a platformer video game based on Disneys popular animated film of the same name. The title was developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin.

Well be using the Quintus game development framework on this tutorial. This Open Source framework was created by Pascal Retig and is aimed for the creation of video games with Java. Script for mobile, desktop and beyond. Starting points to get familiar with Quintus are the official guide, the G community and my previous Quintus tutorial. Familiarity with HTML, CSS, Java. Script and basic object oriented concepts. Clone or download Quintus from its Github page. Setup a local webserver. We need to run the code in this tutorial in a web server and not by just double clicking on the files. More on that later.

WAMP for Windows, MAMP for Mac. On linux just type sudo apt get install apache. Download and install the Tiled game editor, available for Linux, Mac and Windows. Have your favorite IDE ready Netbeans, Eclipse, Sublime. Notepad, VIM, or any tool you use for coding. Download the tutorial source code and game assets. Crack your knuckles and start codingThe Setup. Create a new folder in your web server public folder www folder in most cases, lets call this new folder zenvaplatformer. In it, create the following sub folders and empty files, and copy the JS files contained in Quintuslib where shown zenvaplatformerindex. Quintuslib JS files herezenvaplatformerimagesHeads up When working with Quintus, as well as other libraries from Github, its always good to keep an eye on the repo page as new features are constantly being added. Trademark Da Skydiver Issue 2 Zip. You dont wanna stay behind with an old version of the library. In the case of Quintus a lot of work is being done at the moment so keep an eye for new features and API changes After downloading the files from here. Id recommend you do not look at the code unless you wanna ruin the fun of coding along. What you will need to do though is copy the game assets from data and images to their corresponding project folders. The Map. All games, and in particular platformer games take place in a virtual world. In our case itll be a 2. D, tile based world. Tile based means that the world is composed of individual tiles or blocks. Think of old NES games, how you could just find block patters that repeated themselves. Well thats what we are building here too. In order to create this 2. D, tile based world well use the Tiled game editor. The Quintus engine has support for TMX file loading, which is one of the formats that can be produced by Tiled. The map for this example is ready and waiting for you in the data folder, but I still want to guide you through the process of a basic map creation 1. Open Tiled and create a new map. In the dialog box you have to specify the size of the map in terms of how many tiles or blocks it will have for width and height. You also specify here the size of the tile in pixels. In our example the width of the map is 4. Now where do we get the tiles from You can get plenty of free spritesheet at Open. Game. Art. org, just read carefully the license of the images and give the author proper attribution in case they are Creative Commons. If they are Public Domain you can just use them without restriction. But hey you just downloaded the example files so we do have a spritesheet to have a play with. Go to Map New Tile, then Browse and look for the file imagestilesmap. Make sure you set the tile dimensions correctly 7. With the current version of Quintus, you cant use spritesheets that have spacings or margins. Also, the first block in the spritesheet from left to right will not be shown so leave that blank as I have done in the example file. Having loaded the tileset we can now paint a map using the buttons on the menu. In the platformer example well have two layers, one to hold the collision elements the elements that will block the players path, or sustain him as a ground and a background layer for just decoration. Create a new layer using the icon with the under the layers area. Give them both names to distinguish them. NOW you can start painting your map. If we want to have our files loaded with Quintus we need to save them in non compressed XML format tmx extension. Go to Preferences, then click on the General tab, where it says Store tile layer data as make sure XML is selected. Now you can save your map and this type of TMX maps are the ones you can use in your HTML5 games. The Quintus Setup and Asset Loading. Copy the following contents to your index.

What we are doing here is basically setting up the Quintus object with the modules that well use, activating the touch screen and platform controls. For a description of what each module does check out the official guide and also in my previous Quintus tutorial Ive gone through the basics of the framework. The next step is to load our game assets and to initiate and show our first level. An important concept in Quintus is that of stages which can be understood as layers that go on top of each other. Scenes are instructions that are executed in a stage. For example I have two stages layers, I put one scene that loads the level in one stage and I put another scene that shows the game score in the other stage that goes on top of the first one. In this example well just have one stage which is where the level is loaded. Q. loadtilesmap. Q. Q. stage. Scenelevel. Q. loadtilesmap. Q. Q. stage. Scenelevel. See how we load the images, then we create a sprite sheet for the tileset of the map. When you do so dont forget to specify the dimensions of the tiles. The Level. Weve put on stage a scene called level. Winthruster Serial Key. We need now to initiate this scene. This is where well load the game background and collision layers from the TMX file that came with the example you could also load your own map here. Q. scenelevel. 1,functionstage. Q. Tile.
