Oh, and there are three areas. Press the spacebar to change areas. Enjoy! =D

This version has two kinds of question blocks: coins and mushroom/fireflower, depending on Mario's size. It also had coin and mushroom/fireflower brick blocks as well as empty brick blocks that break when you're big and bump when you're small. Also, four types of enemies! Goombas, Koopas, Paratroopas, and Shyguys! One last thing: instead of going through the hassle of changing the sprites and making two versions, I went ahead and used 8-bit SMB graphics in both versions. Why, you ask? So people will put their own graphics in. I also made the sounds 8-bit to match. Anyway, enjoy!

From now on, any game I make will use my own, 100% made-by me engine. Anyway, the source contains sucky sprites, but the EXE has nice sprites. Other than that, both are exactly the same. This engine is/will be completely open source. I still have a lot of work to do but I THINK I have the basic movement down. Any comments/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Enjoy!

Nice engine.

It's so good, but I think you should fix moving outside the map - you can go outside it, if you'll slide there without holding arrow keys.

Could you put it on sendspace? The forums are being a **** to me.
EDIT: Nvm. Nice engine!

Hey not bad! I suggest fixing up the jump-through platforms because when Wario jumps under it, he moves right on top automaticly (I don't know how to explain it that well ) But I know how much a pain in the neck programming jump-through platforms. Good job.

Are you going to update this?

This has potential to be good.
Keep up the good work!

Well well well, Mason. This is a nifty piece of work. Well done! It's simple, DnD for beginners and works great.

Congratulations on a job well done so far.

Maybe I could convert it to GML for GML purposes?

I don't know how I missed this.


It's pretty nice so far, though I have a couple of things to mention:

* There's some slight glitch where, if the character jumps up through the jump-through floor, the sprites change for an instant to on-ground sprites, and if the character is changing direction then, the skidding sound plays.
* According to standard Mario physics, at least in some Mario games but quite possibly in all of them, Mario's horizontal speed does not automatically slow down to zero while he's in the air. Of course, I didn't notice this myself until rogueyoshi pointed it out in at least one other topic on the boards.

That's because the player object senses a solid object at its position and it does what it's supposed to do when colliding with a solid. It can be fixed by checking the vspeed of the player.

Nice.
Don't add much to the open-source, probably blocks and one enemy, but not much more. It's perfect the way it is (for an open-source).

I'm looking forward to playing the first game you make yourself with this engine.

About your glitches:
the skidding outside of the room can be fixed if you check the character's position not in the left/right events, but in the (end) step event, after you moved by the left/right events regardless of your position.

I suggest to raise the framerate from 30 to 60... It makes the movement much better.

Update!

Great engine mason, I like how small and easy to use it is, unlike mine . What you should add more is the ability to finish a level and maybe an example of a boss too. With these, it could be a great engine for any begginer that want to learn.

edit: ok sorry that was spammy

I may consider this...

This engine rules!

this engine is really good the collision and all!!

Add Platforms were you can go up AND down (Jump through,land on top,press down,fall through)

Will you put the starman in this engine?
