Godot Platformer Movement: Jump, Dash and Double Jump (One Class)
A single class for ages 11 to 16 who have used Godot before. Children code a platformer character that feels good to control, with variable jump height, double jump and dash.
Class Experience
Starting from a prepared project, the teacher adds each movement feature in turn and explains the idea behind it, such as coyote time and jump buffering. Children type the code and tune the numbers until the character feels right to them.
How classes work
This is a single 55-minute live class with up to 5 learners. The teacher demonstrates, learners take part, and everyone shares at the end.
