Oh crisp, it’s Scratch all over again I think I’ve seen a platformer using a sprite as a wall system before Also, jumping is super easy, just use a block that sets the players vy to a negative number, and have a positive ay for the gravity. ---

Do you know that you can expand the tile map size? Just look in the bottom left Conner when accessing the tile map. But what you could do is use this extension: [https://forum.makecode.com/t/sprite-walls-engine-extension/33627](https://forum.makecode.com/t/sprite-walls-engine-extension/33627) ---

HELLO! so, here’s a suggestion of how to do a system that might work for this, simply make it so that if the sprite is not going up, they can jump. then, have sprites that are walls be set to a sprite type called type wall, and have it so that if the player touches that kind of sprite and is higher than that sprite, they stop falling. you might have to rework some stuff, but it seems like it might work for what you’re doing. ---

I limited the player to be controlled horizontally Then applied an acceleration in the y direction (gravity) And made it so on pressing the up arrow, the player’s velocity (speed) is set high enough to counteract gravity and jump ---
