Super Mario clone in Java
- retrogradeorbit 10y agoI'm disappointed this doesn't implement the original Mario physics and just uses Box2D instead.
- ben174 10y agoThis is just a platformer made in Java, that happens to have a few characters with the same name as Super Mario Bros. Nothing about the original NES game has been implemented here.
- muterad_murilax 10y agoI was kind of expecting this to be the actual reverse-engineered Super Mario Bros. disassembly [0] rewritten into Java, with the physics routines intact and so forth. [0] https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722 https://gist.github.com/1wErt3r/4048722

- PostOnce 10y agoThis is great. It really shows how much easier it is to make a game these days.
- PostOnce 10y ago"The source to a Java-based Mario clone that is very different to Mario." you mean. Mario is over a decade older than Java. The NES did graphics in a wildly different way than is being done here. And we're using Box2D physics and floating point math :p The thing to note here is that you can make an incredibly entertaining game with a few hundred lines of code, and you can do it a lot faster than in the 80s, less memory and speed constraints, looser types, easier higher level languages.
- eviltester 10y agoThanks, I hadn't looked at libgdx before. This code brought it to my attention - I'll add libgdx to my research list.
