In this tutorial, UristMcSparks helps you use your basic scripting knowledge to start making dynamic gameplay for a platform game. Specifically, you’ll learn how to create a cannon that shoots fireballs to thwart your game’s players!
As part of Code.org’s global Hour of Code event, we are publishing a series of introductory scripting tutorials that you can follow at home to learn how to create basic elements of a platformer (or “obby”) game of your own.
