It´s good base to start from(´not that awesome but still), and btw "Acceleration and Deceleration with Fixed Movement" is called Custom Movement.:P

exe plz

Sure.

Pretty good, but a bit glitchy when hitting walls from the side. Also, you shouldn't be able to accelerate in the air.

I don't understand why holding the run button in the air (after you jump) should increase your jumping distance. If you want it that way, then it's fine, but still it seems odd to me. Everything other than what you mentioned seems fine.

My only complaint is that when you let go of the jump key when Mario's at the peak of a jump, he comes down faster than usual. This is easily fixable by the way.

I dunno. I may just can this.

Or I could form a team, and a bunch of people could work on it together. Anyone up for it?

I'll be on your team!

My Skills-

Variable Jumping (Sorta)
walking and running
I can use just 2 sprites to program all of Mario's movement (AKA Jumping, Walking, Running and Swimming sprites)
Right sounds and music playing at the right time
I can remix songs (only into oog or mp3 format)
I can make sfx
jumping and falling sprites
enemies
almost perfect movement
I can do some GML (I mostly use the programmed in movements)
Brick blocks and ? Blocks
Swimming (Not-Perfect)
Power Ups
I can sprite really well
I can do any kind of HUD

I have GM7 Pro and GM6 Lite.

MY EXAMPLE IS FINISHED!

Example:

I have all sfx I need
Could use some help with variable jumping
Could use more sprites than 2
I can do sounds
Don't need falling sprites
Could use some help with enemies
Could use help with movement
Don't need songs
I don't use GML that often, only when necesary
Could use help with swimming
Could use help with blocks.

You're in!


Anyone else?


Edit: Holy cow SuperCapeMario... That example is amazing... I may need to start my base off that with a few tweaks... It's awesome...

1. For sprites I mean sprite indexes. For example I can have the walking, running, jumping and swimming sprites all in the same index so you do not have to have a million different sprites for each action.

2.Thank you for letting me join, I will do my best! (Most likely better than the example).

3.Is it really that good? I have only made games for nearly a year now. (I have worked out the proper movements for about 5 months). Anyway my example was a very small fraction of what I can do.

Well, I've toyed around with it, and I am now using it as the new official base for the engine! I will have it in the first post in a minute or two. It's now V0.2!

After I saw the index thing, I figured it out. I'll expand from there.

The problem is doing multiple forms...One object or 3...? I'm sure I'll figure it out.

Thanks for using my base. Also, it only uses one object for all the forms. (I can add more if you like).

Also there is one problem, I cannot program slopes using this engine.
I can if it used jump x and y positions but this uses hspeed and vspeed.

(I can add the veggies from SMB2 if you like).

My computer hates me, so I'll put the update here...

Thanks to SuperCapeMario, V. 0.2 was made possible!

Left/right: move
shift: Jump
Ctrl: run

*NEW*

includes
variable jumping,
running
gravity
acceleration
deceleration
*Goombas*

*Coins*
*HUD*
*Points*
*Time Limit*
*Kirby Music* =D

Hopes to include

soon to include
Koopas (maybe)

And I don't think I need the SMB2 veggies yet, and I'm sure if you toy with this thing enough, you could figure out slopes, SCM.

1. It already had variable jumping, running, gravity, acceleration, deceleration and swimming.
2. SMB2 veggies are easy and slopes are hard. (I will give it a shot though).
3. Argh! You destroyed my mushroom and fire flower power ups! (I worked really hard on those). Also you got rid of my brick blocks and homing goombas.
(How could you)?

There were no mushrooms or brick blocks. I got rid of the homing Goombas because they weren't necesary.

To get the powerups download the latest version!

That would explain a lot...

Edit: Hey SCM, could you just copy what you did in the version with the powerups to the one I have posted? It would probably save us a lot of work.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I will get to work on it and PM it to you when it is ready.

Aw, fudge. I was just working on it. Just leave it to me. I'm making some upgrades anyway.
