Hia everyone!

I'm RatcheT2497, and today, I'm presenting to you a project I've been working on recently.

As the title says, it's Super Mario Bros. 1! Well, more specifically, a rewrite of it for ComputerCraft.

It still has a fair amount of bugs (Most notably the collision), and it's definitely not in a to-be-released state, however I still wanted to share what I've got so far with you guys :)

Hope you enjoy it!



The game has been made thanks to the Surface API by CrazedProgrammer and the getDrawingCharacter function by oli414.

EDIT: Forgot to include the credits for APIs so far.

Oh hey, this looks even better than I was expecting. :)

You might consider slowing the goombas down, though. The decreased display resolution means that you either hit them precisely or they'll hit you, so it's only fair.

Yeah, they're a bit fast... Well, since their speed is 0.6, it's practically a given that they're fast :P

Changed it now, set it to 0.15. I think that's a reasonable speed. :)

Hmm. Not looking bad so far.
Though, I think it might look better if you added more detail to the background, such as clouds, or something using the smaller pixels so it can fit in better.
Good luck with the project, I'd like to see what can come out of this. :)

Thanks!
The background is at this point just a placeholder, I'll add an actual background later in development. :)

I added a basic titlescreen!

Spoiler
It is still a work in progress. I'm planning on having the background be that of a simple level. So far, it can start and quit the game. The continue button functionality will be worked on after I get the engine fully working :)

Wow, that looks really cool.
You might be able to improve it with the new smaller pixels like you do in the main game.
Also, thanks for using and crediting my API!

You're welcome, and thank you for both your kind words, and for making the amazing API :D

The titlescreen was just a quick test I made in the CC Paint. Pretty much nothing I post here is final :P

On a side note, an update: The whole project is getting a rewrite. I found the code to be extremely confusing and hard to get around in.
The new version is coming along quite nicely, with the level editor almost done, a custom Level object, with support for a custom file format for maps. The older levels were just a bunch of tables. Not very reusable :P
Not sure if I'll be posting screenshots regularly though. Either way, thank you all for the replies :D

Another update!

I hereby present to you, the level editor, ezLevel!

Spoiler
Please note that I will be adding more features to the level editor. I will also be adding a "Back" button to the save and load screens, and possibly a better way of handling these screens, as right now, they're purely hardcoded into the program. The title screen will probably change, too. Hope you guys like it :D

The release date isn't set, however I can tell you that it's not going to be soon, what with the whole "recoding" thing going on. However, I'll try to work on it as much as I can :P
