Simple mario like 2d game. (programming with SDL) part1

This is the game what i'm doing now.
I use dev c++, SDL (www.libsdl.org) for programming, MSpaint for sprite drawing.
What is on the game: side scrolling, collosion detection, tile based map.
What i develop now: enemy, smaller, and more tiles, background, gravity, sliding.
It is my second game(the first was a very simple pong), so i'm a beginner
The resolution is only 320*240, cause i'm making it on my very old compaq armada 4131t laptop(133mhz 24 mb ram)

Ez a játék amit jelenleg készítek:
Dev c++, SDL használatával fejlesztem, a prite animáció rajzolását MS paintben készítettem.
ami benne van: szkrollozás, ütközés detektálás, négyzetekből álló pálya.
Amit még készítek: ellenség, kisebb és több négyzet alapú tárgyelem, háttér, gravitáció, csúszás.
Ez a második játékom, (az első egy pong volt), szóval még nagyon kezdő vagyok :).
felbontás csak 320*240, mert a nagyon régi laptopomon fejlesztem.

I have a question: How do you did the scrolling? You have a very large picture and just scroll the screen around it? Or you did something else? (I already know SDL, and I'm interesting in do something like this).

[avvoltoio31]

the background pic with the hills is a very large(it is in the other video about this game) pic.

The foreground(the place where the dwarf can move, or the red bricks) are 32*32 blocks, the resolution of the game is 320*240, so when the dwarf X reach 260 the dwarf not move more only the background move. To move the background, i only need to add the dwarfSpeedX value to the BlockX value(i only move the blocks as i moved the dwarf)

Nice job, keep up the good work! :)

Thanks :)

Do you have a tutorial? I want to make a game like that... :)

[SneakySteeve]

OMG!!! Mario got an axe! :)

Nice job!

[somerandomguy64]

can you please make a tutorial?

[HotPocketsBoy]

@Invisibrah he should also turn off the graph hex editor and turn down GUI physics to run down frame rat eissues. in my experience a larger GUI is more important than a expended hex probe

[nzlhacker]

Terrible physics.

Goes to slow but other then that its good

@swu880

You just put a boolean value in all of them. If it's false, then the program won't even consider them for collision.

[Invisibrah]

The jumping looks really jagged.

Instead of adding just one number to his Y position, try in turn adding a number to that as well, it'll make him jump smoothly because of the acceleration.

[swu880]

hi, is it possible to get the source code for this? It looks like an awesome start.

Im totally confused about how the collision detection works. How do you know that theres a floor under "mario" to run on? cuz you got all these "hills" and drops so what do you use to compare & check for?

[uriituw]

Nice. You should fix the gravity.

[pufixas]

I can make better with Blitz3D and BlitzPlus...

@InertLoop Continue to ignore me...you'll regret it.
