Day 14: Platformer Review

Create an Objective Sprite

An objective is something the player collects for points — a coin, star, gem, key, etc. Create a new sprite and draw your collectible. Keep it small (about 20-30 pixels) so it fits on a platform.

Place the Objective on a Platform

Position your objective sprite on a platform that the player will need to work to reach. It shouldn’t be easy — make the player jump across platforms to get there.

Add a Score Variable

Create a variable called score (for all sprites). Set it to 0 when the green flag is clicked.

Detect Collection

On the objective sprite, add code to detect when the player touches it. When collected, the objective should hide, and the score should increase by 1.

Reset the Player

After collecting the objective, teleport the player back to a starting position (e.g., go to x: -200 y: -100). This forces the player to navigate the platforms again.

Respawn the Objective

After a short wait, show the objective again in a new (or the same) position. The loop continues — collect, reset, collect again.
