Resources

You can use these basic sprites if you want or need to focus your time on the more challenging aspects of making a game.
If you tend to finish your assignments early, I recommend finding assets that are more to your desired theme.

Flag Variation A	Flag Variation B

Instructions

Step 1:

Open your game from the prior assignment. Save it with a new name (e.g. "platform playhouse 4").

This will serve as a backup and allow you to return to a working copy of your game if something goes wrong.

Step 2:

Create a checkpoint object.

Tutorial: Add Checkpoints to the Game

Then, save the player's location so you can return them to that point.

Step 3:

When the player dies after colliding with an enemy, we'll want to send the player back to the last checkpoint.

Tutorial: Send the Player Back

If the player hasn't reached a checkpoint, our prior code will cause some issues. We'll want to set a default checkpoint for the beginning of the level.

Step 4:

When the teacher isn't helping others, show me your completed work and receive a verification code to enter in Canvas.
