Mario SDL Engine Test, Version 0.1.5

I was playing around with SDL, and it didn't look too hard, so I made a simple Mario engine.

It has:

-Jumping
-Moving
-Background
-Can't move off the screen
-Platforms(solid and jump-through)

Soon:

-Simple enemies

Also, before anyone says "variable jumping", I tried, but everything I tried didn't work.


Oh yeah, and I only have a Linux binary at the moment. If anyone knows how to compile a Windows or Mac binary on Code::Blocks 8.02(without using Windows), then I could do it.

NOTE: You will have to install SDL for this to work, I included a dependencies file inside the archive. I also included the source code in case you want to use it(it wouldn't really be an engine without it).

Woo, more SDL users! Did you get the idea for a Mario SDL Engine from me? Or did something else inspire you? Good first attempt! I removed some annoying Warnings though. I attached the new source.

OL, as nice and kind as that may seem, it's quite infuriating to have someone else take your engine, fix tons of "errors," and give it back to you without you asking first (at least to me).

Actually, I fixed no Errors, it was just an annoying warning that caused no problems in-game, but caused excessive Console Output. If you don't use default: break; in a switch statement that switches the Key Sym, it gives tons of useless warnings.

... he's helping.

How's that bad?

Oh, yes, I got about 400 warnings when I compiled it. Thanks for fixing it! Also, I just got the idea from my Game Maker engine, but since I'm using Linux it was pretty much useless now, so I'm trying to rewrite it in SDL.

Unless I asked for help I wouldn't want anyone changing what I worked on, because probably I
a) want to figure the problem out myself
b) already know that this problem exists and decide to fix it later

but that's just my and some other people's opinion.

Then he wouldn't have supplied the source code.

I updated it to version 0.1.5, with solid and jump-through platforms.

Also, adding that code to my project was fine; all it did was eliminate some annoying warnings.

Yeah, apparently your Application Format is corrupt. Not even size MarioTest works, it says Invalid Format. I got the same error with the first version, and right now I'm on the School's Computers which have GCC/G++ Disabled to everyone but the Server Host which runs all the computers.

Well I don't know why you can't run it, it works fine on my computer at home. I'm using Ubuntu 8.10, and I've set my default compiler to GCC, if that matters. It's unlikely, but you may have to do a chmod +x if the file doesn't run.

On my home computer it fails also, even when I chmod +x it. I used size MarioTest to check the ASM, and it uses 6483 Bytes of Code, 744 Bytes of Constants, and 104 Bytes of Variables. Try optimizing with -Os instead of -O or -O#, it'll make it smaller, and possibly slightly faster.
