This is something I've been working on on and off (but mostly off) for some years now. It's a video game that I call:
Made with Game Maker 5.3 because the later versions do not work on my outdated computer. Game Maker is a cool tool though. If you feel like attempting to crank out a gamethen I'd recommend it. Of course it's snot as flexible as programming from scratch but it sure saves a lot of work and is quite a practice too for novices yet alloews scratch coding as well for those with more expertise. I think this only works on windows so if you're using something else, you're out of luck.
If you don't like my default controls, set your own in the options menu. If you have a computer joystick, that should work too. Also, there's this glitch I've been battling and losing against. The walls are sticky. I blame Game Maker's lousy collision detection. If you happen to get stuck someplace, press F9 to nudge Mario to the left and F11 to nudge Mario to the right. If both of those fail, then press F12 to kill yourself.
I apologize, the scaling is rather odd.
This is because I have an unregistered version of Game Maker and I have to pay $18 just to be able to scale the dang thing. So to make it not appear too small, I made the camera fairly wide. I also recently realized that there is no longer anything stopping me from paying this $18 dollars so...I should probably do that sometime soon...
You might also notice that the game if full of the exact same background over and over and over. Well attempting to put in backgrounds came out to be too much trouble for me to bother with so deal with it. I was focusing too much on getting the gameplay just right.
And the last thing I'll foretell you about this game is that all the levels end by just touching this block:
This is a place holder for now. I wanted to come up with something original to end my levels. Unfortunately, that something original has not come to me yet. I'll gladly take your ideas though.
Give me your ideas on how I should end the levels. I suppose I'll go with the best Idea I hear.
Have you ever wanted to create a Mario level? Well now's your chance. I'll take ideas for levels too. As of right now this game's rather short, so you guys'd be helping me out. But don't just tell me "Make a level with a lot of this" I'd be best if you could draw it someway or perhaps make a text file something like this:
Give me your Level ideas!
Also I'd appreciate you informing me of any and all glitches you find. (Besides something sticking or going through a wall. I'm working on that.)
