Retrobrad Presents! - The New Super Pixel Bros!

[nbaietti]

and then you 3d print a case for it at your home ; )

[Ombar]

6:33 That's what you get Toad, fireball to the face.

[CuffRox]

can u make it so it dosen't need ios 5?

[gnamp]

Love this. Could you update the info screen so that after you defeat a boss it says something other than "Hits Needed = 4". I expect you knew about this small bug.

[DoddieDizzle]

@gnamp I wouldn't call it a bug, more just a lack of programming.

[gnamp]

@DoddieDizzle same thing.

[DoddieDizzle]

@gnamp no. a bug is a problem is with the current programming, not a lack of.

[gnamp]

@DoddieDizzle I'd say a lack of necessary programming (where it's meant to be) IS a problem with the current programming.

[gnamp]

@DoddieDizzle See John D Cook's "Software sins of omission"- to understand this.

@00retrobrad00

Did you first begin using matrixs and led grids with a meggy jr rgb or a mignonette or did you just have an idea of how it works and what to do? I'm loving led gaming and would like to begin making some....I'd love to know and if know of any articles or books that could in any way be helpful I'd love to know!

Thank you for all the EPIC led game vids!

[ojejq88]

@00retrobrad00 where is 10th tutorial in electronics!?

[Mantua64]

Ah.. I just came from a online fight in Crysis 2, but who am I kiddin'.. This is 10 times as awesome =)

!!!

[AnthonyDavid94]

Now in 3D?

Sorry, just had to do that ;)

[frostyman116]

Are people really complaing about a font? -_____-

It's not like it's even hard to read or anything.

[pounkunchi]

It's great!

What micro computers did you use?

[ahianx]

NOT HD :)

[Narutoxbleach503]

Well I think comic sans is fun =)

Other than that, being in the feild of electronics I understand this is a bitch to make. Great job.

[EPICCCOMBOBREAKER]

Level three is from the Game Boy's Super Mario Land

[hiredmercenary]

The comic sans font ruined the entire video for me.

[00retrobrad00]

@hiredmercenary Wow really? You feel that strongly about a font? If I could ask you this - Let's say you were getting married and your wife to be had all of the place cards for the reception made up with comic sans as the font. Would this ruin your wedding day? Or perhaps you had just had your first child and someone sent you a congratulations card with comic sans font on it - would that ruin the moment? Where do you draw the line between where a font ruins something and where it doesn't?

[hiredmercenary]

@00retrobrad00 Comic Sans was voted one of the worst fonts ever by the internet, deal with it bro.

[hiredmercenary]

@00retrobrad00 Comic Sans was voted one of the worst fonts ever by the internet, deal with it bro.

[remcopeg]

@00retrobrad00 Well, it doesn;t really ruin the vid, but it would defenitely ruin those two days!!

[puckoster]

@00retrobrad00: lmao, awesome examples :D:D

[Onimyst]

@00retrobrad00 That font ruins everything. EVERYTHING.

[3KingG]

@hiredmercenary owned..,

[hiredmercenary]

@3KingG

3KingG subscribed to JennaMarbles (3 hours ago) Welp, your taste doesn't matter.

[3KingG]

@hiredmercenary I loved how you stalked my profile..

[hiredmercenary]

@3KingG I always do research, and your profile was basic with no favorites or anything to distract from the giant "I LOVE JENNA MARBLES I HAVE NO TASTE" subscription. You can't unsubscribe now, you're doomed to be bad at taste. Game over, check and mate, still got it, chug a monster and deal with it.

[3KingG]

@hiredmercenary Creep. Who said I loved her? But I do :)

so I won't un-subscribe :)

im dooooooomed omggggggggggg

[RobCardIV]

haha. great work.

[qRstyle]

Great project mate, I was thrilled when I saw it. Mind telling me where I can get the RGB matrix? Is there a site where I can order it with world wide shipping? I'm hoping to make one myself.

Thanks for sharing the project !!!

[00retrobrad00]

@qRstyle I have added a comment to the video which provides a web link for you to get info of how to buy the kit. It is not yet available but will be soon.

[Eyezzzonly]

Looks like an new Species of Games...

Jump´n´Minecraft hrhr

[indigoprophecy123]

Featuring monofonic audio chip

[CyberTiger000]

8 bits is too much, do it with only 1.

[TheDemonreven]

This needs to be made in Minecraft! XD

[Darkozl]

this was done on Vimeo two years ago. search: "Super Mario Bros on an 8x8 LED matrix"

[00retrobrad00]

@Darkozl Yep it sure was = ) but if you read through her description, you will find that she got the idea from me in my version I made nearly three years ago. Having said that, I did get the idea from Nintendo...

[Darkozl]

@00retrobrad00 Ah, ok.

[00retrobrad00]

@Darkozl Hopefully someone else will now make an even better version than my one = )

[downphoenix]

this is awesome, but a minor gripe I have is why do the enemies jump? Only complaint as everything else seems very faithful.

[00retrobrad00]

@downphoenix To be honest, I did start to program multiple styles of bad guys (ones that jump, ones that move along the ground etc...) but I just got a little too busy to incorporate them. I decided to release it as it is and maybe one day I can come back to it and add more features (or perhaps someone else can download the sourcecode and do it themselves?)

[Sirslawter]

I.WANT.ONE.

[teamrocketspy621]

Now THAT'S what I call Super Mario 64!

[mcstabbyface]

why do all these hipsters and posers think its so cool to hate on a font what lame asses.i would like to give you my money for a kit of one of these.good job hope you get around to trying other games.and keep trolling with the comic sans

[sirpilf]

i love how clicky the buttons are, thats key to a retro game pad.

[Acevmkcff]

Now all someone has to do is make this in minecraft redstone. Then my life will be complete.

[jgr9000000]

You're gonna get sued for using Mario's likeness in this. It looks pretty damn close to him.

[fede1408uy]

But, where is Mario? xD

[ustolemypie2]

Nice work.

[Vaesyr]

I think that officially makes you the coolest nerd I've ever watched on youtube.

[davidnodavid]

I will totally buy that.

[lordolemons]

coolist shit ever

[AnotherWun]

very cool.

[streetcornerjames]

I'm impressed. Creative.

[killer2611]

wow that's pretty interesting xD 

[1337penguinking]

wow this is really cool, im sure the programming was fun, you should put credits in the description though like where you can buy the boards and the mario map thing. awesome thing you got there

[odessa999]

Excellent work Brad well done, It'sbrilliant !!! :D

[KingUw]

you got this for android?

[Ceruleanst]

For this to reach its full potential, it has to be adapted to the windows of a building.

[odessa999]

@Ceruleanst Thats a brilliant idea lol

[omnisphera]

seeing this i just can't help thinking of children, it is so suited for them as a little fun gadget (doesn't mean is not for grown ups, i'd love one myself). and speaking of children, it would be nice if you could add an easy mode to it where the level bosses are just regular enemies, hit them once and bam! other than that everything is just perfect to it, the retro look, the feel, the minimalism, everything!

[Zettaplant]

Super Mario 64 would be a better name.

[firzen1231]

Wouldn't have kirby been better to use with limited pixels that Super Mario Bros?

[j3r3myChy3]

You sir are creative :-)

[Edos512]

I've seen games with worse jump controls than this xD

[18thAngel]

Hey mate this is brilliant. Well done!

[xXISlitMyWristsXx]

Love it, I grew up playing super mario brothers, is it wrong that I want one now? lol

[zerowinglad]

this is so pointless. what a waste of time.

[00retrobrad00]

@zerowinglad I wouldn't say that. It was quite a programming learning experience for me. It's helped me understand more of the swordfish basic language and I had fun with it at the same time.

[Coolblue3680]

@zerowinglad >Recreation of Super Mario Bros., made and developed by Nintendo

>Using only 64 pixels

>Guy put alot of effort into this

All of your arguments are now invalid.

[ethybob]

Cool, better than Xbox

[Gretgor666]

This is pretty awesome.

[Denamic]

Does it have multisample anti-aliasing?

[LlamaJudge]

I'd be willing to buy it

[threebrothers1]

4 buttons for this..?lol

[00retrobrad00]

@threebrothers1 I had made it with four Directional Buttons and then Four game buttons for future games and updates. Realistically there are loads of different games that you could program for this device.

Obviously the game you see does not require all four game buttons but only two.

[pavluxa7777]

awesome yeah! please somebody make it for me! ))

[graingert]

Why on earth did you use comic sans?

[00retrobrad00]

@graingert What's wrong with comic sans?

[Denamic]

@00retrobrad00 What's wrong with comic sans?!

By the gods... You're one of THEM!

[00retrobrad00]

@Denamic I still don't understand.

[SynchtubeBetaa]

@00retrobrad00

Hipster.

[00retrobrad00]

@SynchtubeBetaa Do you mean like the underpants? I wear boxer shorts.

[snowday333]

Comic sans displays a lack of critical reasoning skills. And, it makes Jesus hate you, too.

[00retrobrad00]

@snowday333 The Bible tells us that Jesus loves all of us and died for all of our sins. John 3v16; "For God so loved the world that He gave his only Son".

[deathmelon6789]

@Denamic That's quite judgmental. What's the world coming to when one's integrity is determined by what font they use in a Youtube video?! This guy created an ingenius version of the original Super Mario Bros. game, and that's all you focus on?

[douglasdtlltd]

@deathmelon6789 Thats exactly what i was thinking about. :L

[Mutilator7]

@graingert COMIC SAAAAAAAAAAAAAANS

[baweery]

@graingert Why on Earth is your life so slow and boring that you would 1. notice and 2. care about his font when it's the absolute last thing of interest in this video about his personal feat of programming and modding.

[ShoeLube]

@baweery It's a thing. Check out the ban comic sans website for more information.

This is a great programming feat, which is why it's funny because it happens to use the most unpopular font.

[NeosimianSapiens]

@graingert This guy's accomplishment is so epic that I don't CARE if he used Comic Sans. He could have used Klingon Sans Serif Italic Bold and I still would have been awe-struck.

[deathisbehindyou]

@graingert The fuck is wrong with comic sans?

[anger123]

@deathisbehindyou that's the joke

[WanderLink]

@graingert

Lol, that's what I thought, really freaking cool, but he loses some points for using comic sans.

[PaulNeilJohnson]

that is cool.

[cymonsgames]

Hmm... I'm thinking a 64 pixel roguelike...

[vaevictusnet]

@cymonsgames It's been done, other entries into that subgenre would be good.

For more info, track down darius kazemi's flickr set. 

[vaevictusnet]

googling "dariusk flickr meggy jr" pulled it up for me.

[orangesoda1955]

cool, better than ps3

[lezbriddon]

madness! but so damn good!

[AmonOfTheSahelijos]

damn, that's awesome! how long did it take to make that?

[cerealkiller155]

2nd!

[BarCaHilmi]

if u sell this item. what would the price be? 

[00retrobrad00]

@BarCaHilmi I am not out to make money from it. I am in the process of organinsing with my PCB fab house to get all the parts together and sell it on their site as a kit. The most expensive part of it is the 8x8 LED Matrix which can cost around $10 - $15

[RangerDK21]

@00retrobrad00 i would spend 50$ on rdy to go version of this :D
