Learn how to code by creating simple games! Follow along with this video on how to set up a Platformer game! ▼ Code Explained at: ▼ https://NerdyTeachers.com/Explain/Platformer/ ____________________________________________ This is the third video of the series on setting up a Platformer game. Each video of this series will go into detail on each step. This one is all about preparing our player variables and many tips about using tables, naming variables and preparing for advanced movement code. At the end of the series, there will be a final video that quickly covers the whole set up. What is on the Nerdy Teachers Website?

Lua is a fantastic language to learn because it is so readable. Many languages take a lot of time just to memorize what all their symbols mean, but Lua uses natural words instead. So reading Lua code pretty much describes exactly what the code is doing! That is so important for beginners because it skips all the headache and frustration of tackling complex jargon, and gets you quickly into creating! And that's where the fun is! Why PICO-8? This Fantasy Console has it all! Literally, everything you need is in one place. Coding, Drawing, Maps, Sound FX, and Music are all in a single program! If you've ever tried making games before then you know how amazing that is! Just like Lua, it also cuts out the complexity so we can get straight to creating. PICO-8 also has a lot of limitations, and that sounds bad right? NO WAY! These limitations actually fuel your creativity because you don't have to worry about endless possibilities and tire yourself out just thinking about all of the decisions in front of you. The limits also encourage you to move on! Too many people get stuck focused only on their first coding project and this really slows down learning. Learning to code well is all about overcoming a wide variety of projects, and PICO-8 almost forces us to create many small projects instead of a single never-ending one. PICO-8 is perfect for learning code and having fun doing it! _____________________________________ ▼ PICO-8 - Fantasy Console ▼ https://www.lexaloffle.com/pico-8.php _____________________________________ ----------- Music - "8 Bit Space Groove!" by HeatleyBros ----------- iTunes :https://goo.gl/M3b16f Spotify: https://goo.gl/5SbVuk License: goo.gl/jadB5E Twitter: https://goo.gl/fKqyrj Facebook: https://goo.gl/PrsTvS ----------
