Geometry Dash camp plan

Use this page when running Geometry Dash as a 5-day camp.

At a glance

Day	Blocks	Goal
1	Setup, Stage 1, Stage 2	Students create the cube and reliable jump controls.
2	Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5	Spikes, auto-scroll, and spawn patterns create a level.
3	Stage 6, Stage 7, Stage 8	Score, portal flip, and sound cues deepen the game.
4	Stage 9, Stage 10, catch-up	Students polish difficulty and finish the demo screen.
5	Level showcase, rehearsal, parent demo	Students present a readable, fair runner game.

Minimum viable finish

A student should leave with a Scratch runner where the cube jumps, avoids moving spikes, tracks progress, and can restart.

Coach triage

• If timing feels impossible, slow the obstacles before changing jump code.
• If a student is behind, keep one spike pattern and skip portal complexity.
• If a student is ahead, have them tune sound cues and fairness for a first-time player.

Common stuck points

• Variables must be for all sprites.
• Collision can feel unfair if costumes have extra transparent space.
• Students often need to test from the beginning, not from a dragged mid-level state.
