Creating Vertical Movement: Falling and Jumping in Game Development

The tutorial explains how to implement vertical movement in a game by introducing a new variable, speed Y, for handling up and down movements. It covers setting initial values, adding logic for falling and platform interaction, and testing the code. The tutorial ends with a preview of adding jump functionality in the next session.
