Designing the level

It wouldn't be a platformer without jumps. For most readers, this section will take up the largest chunk of time. Once you start designing a level, you'll find it's a lot of fun to lay out all the pieces, creating challenging jumps, secret paths, and dangerous encounters.

First, you'll create a generic Level scene containing all the nodes and code that is common to all levels. You can then create any number of level scenes that inherit from this master level.

TileSet configuration

In the assets folder you downloaded at the beginning of the project is a tilesets folder. It contains three ready-made TileSet resources using the 16x16 art for the game:

• tiles_world.tres: Ground and platform tiles
• tiles_items.tres: Decorative items, foreground objects, and collectibles
• tiles_spikes.tres: Danger items

It is recommended that you use these tile sets to create the levels for this project. However, if you would rather make them yourself, the original art is in res://assets/environment...
