Re: Reverse engineering Mari0's level data format

I figured it out! Although part of the trouble was that Mari0 is apparently upside down. The positive Y axis is down instead of up. Apparently Mari0 stores data about whether some tile types collide or not as a pixel in the image data . This is annoying for me, since I don't plan on re-using any of ...

Reverse engineering Mari0's level data format

I'm making a Java platformer game kinda inspired by Mari0 and No DMCA's Sky, and I figured it should be simple to get the level data out of Mari0 and just translate the bits that read it from Lua to Java so I'd have some levels to test my game with. To keep things simple, my initial plan is just to ...

Re: Mari0 SE level converter

A whole bunch of maps have been created for various Super Mario Bros rom hacks. Is there any automated way to convert that data into mari0's format? How hard would it be to accomplish that?

Re: mari0 in fullscreen?

Trouble is keeping that updated for newer versions. And playing mods in fullscreen.

Really, seriously, not kidding here: EVERY GAME should have a full screen mode!! DUH!

Need, need, NEED to get this added to the main branch so it's available for all mods and stuff that inherits from the source.

Please do not use "No Rights Reserved" incorrectly as that implies public domain. If you mean "Some rights reserved" as that implies Creative Commons or other copyleft license, then say "Some rights reserved." It's confusing enough without developers who ought to know better using the wrong terms

Bricks that are still in motion should not be able to cause you to lose the game. Only if all bricks are at rest and a new brick needs to come in should you be able to lose the game.
