I wish I had the knowledge to do such things without bothering said person working their butt off 24/7.

Psh, you have learned so much and done things on your own, which is awesome. The rest of this thread though... I don't know why...

Anywho, some updates:

[Complete]
Jumping
Tile collisions
Tilemap animations
Tilemap scrolling
Simple level editor
Loading/Saving

[TODO This week]
Special boxes
Different tiles do different things

No screenshots unfortunately because I am at home and am doing other things Maybe sometime this next week.

Oh, your actually working on it? Awesome! So what sprites are you using? Or have you redesigned the entire Mario thing?

Here's the screenshot of stuff: (The screenshot frameskips a bit so it looks like the Mario sprite isn't changing. It is in reality.)



I would just like to thank everyone for the support; it's nice to have

Anywho, I rather liked writing this simulated physics engine; compared to the assembly portal this was a breeze I am probably going to work more on powerups next, finish up the level editor, and then progress to working on enemies.

Holy What

That looks incredibly awesome, Mateo! Whats your estimate on the size of the final program?

Maybe around a 30K program with a 64K archived appvar? Probably less though

Looking great! Runs pretty well, though do you plan on using more of the screen for the tilemap? Or would there be too much of a speed hit?

For now I'm assuming the worst case scenario where enemies, powerups, and other things moving on the screen will cause a sharp performance hit, so I'm just trying to see what works best for now. Everything is pretty easily changeable if need be.

Amazing work! Keep it up!

Looks awesome

THAT IS SO GOOD!! Keep it up!

Added mushroom powerups and some jumping block stuff, plus blocks move when hit now.



(Also the new name is 'Oiram')

Yay!!!!!! Progress!!

That looks amazing! It was funny; when I saw the topic, I thought it was a new game and I got super confused since it already had 7 pages. Great work!

I like your new name for this!
just out of curiosity, I put this name into Google translate, and apparently 'Oiram means 'Surrounded' in Uzbek.

Haha, that's pretty interesting

Anywho, added goombas, turtles, and the fire sprite, along with the flash caused by power-down. Can't shoot fireballs yet, but that's pretty easy to add. Everything is pretty much based on one structure. Also need to make it possible to pick up shells... I haven't really decided how I want to do that yet

Oh wow, that looks incredibly good. Keep up the amazing work, Mateo; I can't believe you put that together in four days!

Surely you mean the Oiram sprite? Brother of the infamous Igiul?

Wow! That is looking fantastic, Mateo! Great job with this, though if I may say, that walking animation seems a bit too fast

Again, great job, and I can't wait to try it out!

EDIT: So kind of wondering how you are drawing and erasing thing? Are you updating coordinates and then displaying the tilemap to the buffer and then switching it over to the screen? You must have it running pretty fast, if so. (when I try such a thing, just displaying a plain color over everything else, things get considerably slower )

I update coordinates and then just use the library's tilemapping engine, which I wrote for pretty much this reason Then I update all the sprites such as Oiram and the enemies

Update: Added the ability to pick up shells and throw them; can now throw fireballs, nice death animation, some poofs of clouds appear when things happen, and of course those chomper plant things, the ones that are normal and the ones that shoot flaming balls of death at you. Hm. I guess I'll need to start working on the dungeon enemies soon too.




Okay; I'll take care of it
