This project is mainly just to earn hours from me practicing my python. I haven't learned too much python so this project is where I just make a bunch of 2D platformer games to practice.

Practice 2D Platformer
This is my simple 2d platformer.
Before making this project I knew very little about coding in Python so I wanted to work on this project to fix that. In the past I’ve used a bunch of YouTube tutorials to teach me how to code so this time I wanted to try something different. I created a custom Gemini gem that walked me step by step through creating the base game, then helped me add on improvements such as enemies and moving platforms.
Key Features:
Smooth platforming: Precise movement tracking keeps the character steady on moving platforms without slipping.
Varied movement: Double jumps, wall slides, wall jumps, and a dash move to smash weak blocks.
Animations: Squish-and-stretch effects when jumping and landing give the character extra feel.
Smart enemies: Jumping enemies detect edges and turn around instead of walking off ledges.
10-levels: Includes built-in tutorial prompts to teach new moves as the player progresses.
I know the game is really simple, and that is mostly on purpose; this was meant to be just a fun way to practice my Python skills. Hope you enjoy!

Final devlog of the simple 2D platformer! I improved the pixel art and revamped the levels. The first 3 levels are dedicated to teaching the player the controls. I also added support to deploy it online.

4th devlog for my simple platformer. I added a couple more levels, currently they are way to hard, I will have to revisit them in the future. On top of that I added a sprint feature to the player. I also spent some more time on the graphics.

3rd devlog of this practice project! Added super simple enemies, a simple level creation option in the setting script, spikes, and better camera follow movement.

Added a few improvements to the platformer game. The camera now scrolls along with the player; I added collectable coins and a coin counter, and made it so that the player respawns when they fall off the platform.

Just finished my first practice platformer. It is super simple, which was intended. I didn’t want it to be anything complicated, just some simple python practice.
