Upgrades the free tutorial: How to Create a Platformer Game in Python

What makes it “Pro”

Everything the tutorial leaves as an exercise, done properly.

Controls that feel great

Coyote time, jump buffering, variable jump height and faster falling.

Wall slide & wall jump

Climb chimneys with wall jumps, with a brief air-control lock for precision.

Rich world

One-way platforms, spikes, crumbling blocks, springs and moving platforms that carry you.

Enemies

Patrolling slimes and flying bats. Stomp them for a bounce.

6 levels, 4 themes

Day, sunset, night and cave, with parallax backgrounds, gems, coins and checkpoints.

Level editor

Paint with 14 brushes, playtest instantly and save your own levels.

Level checker

A search over the real physics proves the exit and every gem are reachable.

Tested

20 pytest tests cover the physics and prove every built-in level is beatable.

Screenshots

Real, unedited screenshots of the game. Every pixel is drawn by the code you get.

Green Meadow: procedural pixel art, parallax mountains, coins and gems

The built-in level editor with 14 brushes

The Tower: a vertical level with a wall-jump chimney

Sky Fortress: springs, moving platforms and enemies

Crumble Caves: crumbling blocks over spike pits

FAQ

What do I need to run it?

Python 3.8 or newer and pygame (pip install pygame-ce, or classic pygame). It works on Windows, macOS and Linux. There are no image or sound files to download: everything is generated in code.

How do I get the files after paying?

You're sent straight to your download page, and we email you the link too. The link keeps working, so you can re-download updated versions later. Lost it? Recover your downloads with your email.

Is this beginner-friendly?

If you've followed our free tutorial, yes. The code is split into small, commented modules, and the README walks through the architecture. It's the ideal next step after the tutorial.

Can I use it in my own projects?

Yes. You can modify it, learn from it, and ship your own games built on it, even commercially. The only thing you can't do is redistribute or resell the source code itself.

What if it's not for me?

Email us within 14 days and we'll refund you. No questions asked.
