Yeah the screenshot was a lot slower than the video, but still nice. He released the source on MC a few years ago when he left the community but I don't know if it's still up since they moved hosts often

nah the main engine was quite solid but besides koopas/shells and goombas and mushroom not much was working yet. What was done is pretty much what's seen in this screenie. However calc84 version is progressing further now so we will still have a new mario game with better physics than the Bill Nagel version and working pipes ^^

@ Omnimaga, Hell yea we do! Just as DJOmnimaga said, the source should still be on maxcoderz somewhere and the video shows pretty much what state the project was left in.

More progress! I added bullet bills, which seem to work quite nicely. Also, Super Mario and Fire Mario do the correct jumping sprite (as in Mario puts his arm up), and they can also duck now!

I'm kind of thinking that wouldn't work well... what if he ended up under a block and couldn't get up?

wow awesome, getting better and better. You should try to make the bullets so they won't appear over the cannons (maybe use some kind of masking so the cannon appears on top?) Or maybe add some kind of (...nuke...er...not...) explosion on the cannon sprite when a bullet is fired?

As for sliding under objects I think art of camelot meant when you run and crouch while moving, like in all other mario games. I wonder if that would be possible. I think Duck's mario had this

@DJ Omnimaga: Yes, thats what I meant, :) and yea Duck's did. I guess a better way of saying it is "will there be inertia ?"(which would allow mario to slide under blocks if you duck while in motion).

I understood the question, and my answer still applies. What if he slides under a block? He won't be able to get up or get out. How did the real Mario games handle this?

I'm unsure, but in SMB1 on the NES when you stood up again under blocks Mario moved automatically to the right and in SMB3 to the left. This was to prevent cases of being stuck, altough it was still possible to get stuck, in which case, you had to wait until timer runs out. This added challenge to the game actually

In New Super Mario Bros for the DS, when Mario gets stuck under something, he automatically scrolls to the right, until he is not stuck anymore.  It looks sort of like a glitch, though, because he scrolls out, not walks.

yeah true, I never understood why mario had no animation when doing that, but I guess that's how Nintendo wanted it to be since it has been doing that in almost all SM platformers
