Hey folks,
I’ve been working on a package for making platformers in arcade and it is now far enough along that I thought I’d post a demo!
The main features include:
- A whole new physics engine
- Support for sloped surfaces in tilemaps
- Moving platforms
The actual extension can be found here: https://github.com/riknoll/pxt-platformer
If anyone is interested in using it, I can post a guide on how I made the tilemaps. For now, it’s JavaScript only. I’m hoping in the future to make building levels easier and to add block APIs.

Hi, I can’t open the demo.
Clicking the link leads to this error:
what link, 2ndClemens, this one? 
No, this one (from the first post)
I can’t access it either.
And this doesn’t work either, even in the beta editor:
This repository contains a MakeCode extension. To use it in MakeCode,
So I wonder how to open the demo.

I found the ‘slope demo’ you were referring to in A tournament - Arcade - Microsoft MakeCode
Unfortunately after importing the GitHub url of ( GitHub - riknoll/pxt-platformer: A Microsoft MakeCode Arcade extension for platformers), I receive the following errors:
This may be due to use of legacy code. Try to import the Color-coded Tilemap extension.

I think you are right, as the color code tilemap allowed you to change the size of the tile; in this case 8x8 instead of 16x16.
