XNA - Starting a platformer

0
votes

I have followed the MSDN Platformer tutorial and made a variant with it.

However, I want to make a Platformer like the Super Mario games. Although I prefer to make a game with a basic level, instead of a side scrolling level.

I've read certain documents about using Tile grid to create my levels. Are there also beginner/full tutorials available to create a start?

Basically need help with the first steps of setting up a level.

Can't you just disable the code that scrolls the screen? – annonymously
@Lars: There are many steps required in making a game, even simple ones. Can you give us some idea of your current knowledge level with C# and XNA? – Nic Foster
@Nic: My level with XNA is ndeed basic. I am currently capable to create a simple space shooter, meaning I have the textures + shooting.I will need a tutorial to help me get through the part where the projectiles actually destroy opponents though. – Lars

I have not used XNA for about 6-7 months, but back when I was 'playing' with it, I was working on Windows Phone 7 games and learned a lot from this blog over here. His tile engine worked pretty good for me. Although it looks like it is for RPG-like games, take a closer look at the examples, there is a 2D platformer example there too.

You must read this, otherwise nothing will make sense :)
