Ok I finally realized why i never finish any projects: i hate being creative.  So i've decided to write just a bare-bones engine, that includes an editor on-calc, and lists all archived side-scrolling levels.  So far i have the basics. I still need to add the editor and enemies.  This is just a brief beta to show what i have so far.
Controls:
left/right: move left/right
up: jump
clear: exit
enter/2nd: confirm

PS: ASM programmers, check out Asm1.z80 to see the format of level files and you can figure out how to assemble your own levels

Hey jon glad you're still around! I am curious about this engine I will download it now! Does this means EvilFate and Donkey Kong are dead tho? :(sad.gif

I will repost to give feedback on your build :)smile.gif

EDIT: Quite nice so far, the fact you cant scroll backwards reminded me super mario bros for the NES. :)smile.gif now for the suggestions:

-If you can you  should try to make the jump more round, basically have the char slow down in its jump then slowly start going down then drop faster and faster, just to make the jump more realistic.
-Running with maybe ALPHA or MODE key would be nice


Keep up the good work :)smile.gif

They are not dead, just on hold till i can find somebody willing to do the graphical grunt-work.

Aah ok, glad to hear they're still alive. For graphics what do u need specifically? Cuz I may have some tiles for RPGs which I posted in a thread (I think it was super speler's RPG in the spriting section) that you may like.

I updated my post above with feedback for the engine posted in the first post.

Very nice. Now I can't wait for the on-calc editor so I can make some great games. Great work.

GBA engine? what do you mean? did the GBA have a sidescrolling engine built in?

And it also takes asm expertise and a computer :/confused.gif

i meant is it the same idea?

obviously on calc though, which is better.

i guess it's somewhat the same idea.

well GBA requires full asm knowledge i think, as it is mostly routines. I assume Jon's is more like a level editor, right?

Si. Although you can make levels manually on the computer if you have an assembler
