Platform Character Outline by chumbucket
This is a very large sheet of several 48x48 poses for a platform character. This is just an outline, intended to be minorly edited to provide you with a great variety of stylistically similar platform characters. I designed this resource for people who want to spend less time drawing sprites for their characters and NPCs in platform games and more time programming the actual game - this shows when programmers make games that are focused on small, 8x8 "blobs" or "pixel-men" as main characters which are just very difficult to get emotionally attached to in any way, shape, or form.
The process is simple - just import the frames of whatever animation you'd like into Game Maker, edit them to look like your platform character (porportions and styles are already taken care of, you just have to draw hair and clothes - usually the easy part of spriting a character ^^), and you have a human platform character to use in your games.
These sprites are completely royalty free. You can use them for private or commercial purposes, on Game Maker games or in Flash movies, or maybe even professional games, whatever. You don't even need to contact me for permission to use them.

Jumpthrough platforms. by Bill23
This allows you to create jump through platforms that work with multiple characters. It's very easy to understand, and can be easily added to any platform game. Pleas give credit if used.

Make a Maze / Find a Path by bukster
Two scripts in a demo that will draw a computer generated maze on the screen. Press space for a new maze or p to see a path from the start of the maze to the end point.
Use this for games where you want lots of different mazes. So you don't need to design every stage, just use one with a different maze everytime.
This is the same maze drawing/path finding system I used in my game "Hall of Shadows". I've included instructions in the code so you can make the mazes bigger if you want.
