How to Make A Platformer Game with Python! PyGame Tile-Based Platformer Tutorial!
In this video, as a special thank you for one amazing year of making videos with you all on LeMaster Tech YouTube, I show you to make a full tile-based platformer game start to finish using python and the PyGame module!!

For a full platformer game, we start by setting up PyGame, then using a 2-D array and a series of nested for loops we draw all our different tiles and objectives onto the board.
Then we handle player movement and control as well as collision with obstacles and gravity and a jumping mechanic! Then we set up a teleport mechanism to move between levels and phases, then we create the code for handling losing and winning as well as restarting the game.
The final steps are timing the total run for high scoring and then handling collision with acid tiles so you lose a life when you hit acid, and lose when you run out of lives! Then we quickly add some sound effects and background music and we are all done!
If you have any questions about what you saw in this video or ideas for what you'd like to see in a future video just let me know in the comments of this video!!
Thanks for watching and goodluck with your code!!
