I'm not sure what the above demo was, but I have an endless runner demo linked below if you want to check that one out.

hey thankyou jamie!!! i've checked it out, but why is it when the edge of the platform is touched by the white color block, the platform will be pushed away :O

Well the main purpose of that demo is to show how to continually spawn platforms like in an endless runner. It's not really a full game template. Since you are likely falling and dying at the moment you hit the edge of a platform and push it a little I wasn't too worried about it.

If you wanted those platforms to never move when the edge is hit you'd need to move them across the screen using an interpolate behavior (and un-checking moveable in the physics settings) or some other way. In the class I teach at udemy I demonstrate this method when creating a full endless runner.

As always there are lots of different ways of achieving the same effect, it just depends on your specifics needs.
