    Welcome to the second stage of this game development course with Phaser. 0:04
    In this stage we're going to build a 2D platform game, which is a bit 0:09
    more complicated than the Breakout game we built in the previous section. 0:14
    A platform game or 0:19
    a platformer is a game where the player controls a character that can move left or 0:21
    right and jump on platforms in order to reach the end of the level. 0:26
    Popular platformers include Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Rayman. 0:31
    The 2D platformer that we are going to build will allow you to control this 0:38
    alien character on the screen. 0:43
    You'll be able to move left, right, and also jump. 0:45
    This character will be able to collect coins that have been highlighted with 0:50
    a red box and will need to avoid creatures like the one highlighted in this blue box. 0:54
    We're going to be using a tool called Tiled to create the levels for our game. 1:01
    This is an easy-to-use map editor for 2D games. 1:06
    We're going to learn the basics of this tool in this stage of the course. 1:09
    We'll also be using a lot of the knowledge we gained from the game 1:14
    we made in the previous stage. 1:18
    So it's important that you've completed that stage before coming to this one. 1:20
    After building this platform again, you'll get a better understanding of 1:26
    classes in JavaScript, how to create sprite animations, 1:30
    how to use tweens in Phaser, creating levels with Tiled, and much much more. 1:34
    Cool, in the next video we're going to go through how to set 1:40
    up a Phaser project using Node.js and Vite. 1:45
