Yes, this will be one of my side projects. I'm in th process of working out the technical issues, like random enemy detection. Tell me what enemies you want included!

Cool! I was thinking of doing an ASCII platformer today. I'll be very interested to see how you are going to pull the engine off! Very cool idea

As for enemies, I'd say you should start out with the most default enemies in the Mario universe? Goombas, forms of Koopa's etc.

Thanks, its always good to hear specific responses rather than screenshot please.

I'm definitely going to do Goombas and Koopas, but I was also thinking about including the piranha things. I've been playing Super Mario v1.2 all day to see what I've missed, and there aren't many.
The characters to represent them are also my main concern right now. (I know, this type of programming is bad.)

I thought about doing one, but then decided against it. I have too much to do as it is...

might turn out good, good luck

Screenshot please

LOL...sounds really cool. I would stick with the basic enemies like Krid said, and I'd also like the flower/eating things (don't know their name) that come out of the pipes. Those always make things interesting.

This sounds cool, but I hope i'll be able to decode the screen... I think not

Krid · « **Reply #8 on:** April 11, 2006, 02:27:00 am »

Regarding necro's list: Wouldn't it be better if a regular koopa would be "n" and a flipped koopa "u". That way it really looks flipped.

The main concern, next to getting a suitable engine done in BASIC, are indeed the graphical differences between enemies. Would it be possible to make mario and/or enemies 2 characters high?

DJ Omnimaga · « **Reply #9 on:** April 11, 2006, 02:35:00 am »

wow that sound nice, do u know if you'll have a playable demo or screenshot soon?

the_unknown_one · « **Reply #10 on:** April 11, 2006, 02:38:00 am »

A playable screenshot :lol:

Well I hope he shows us something soon.

Krid · « **Reply #11 on:** April 11, 2006, 02:41:00 am »

Be a bit more open minded

Would be a waste to see Radical_Pi rush things too fast just to get a screenshot done! Tell us more about the engine you're going to use.

the_unknown_one · « **Reply #12 on:** April 11, 2006, 02:44:00 am »

I was joking! C'mon give us some more info

necro · « **Reply #13 on:** April 11, 2006, 04:34:00 am »

then the screen would only be 4 enemies tall...

Radical Pi · « **Reply #14 on:** April 11, 2006, 11:13:00 am »

Wow I've been gone less than 20 hours and this is what happens?!
I have still been playing SM 1.2 to think of what I missed. And my handy Super Mario Bros Deluxe for GameBoy Color...

Necro: omega makes a good goomba.

n is already koopa.
