Good But What If The platform maved and not the tv?

[keithlyk]

If just moving the platform then the "game" cannot "force" the player to move/walk along with the game/mario. And Mario will then just stay almost in the same place physically (more or less, he can move a bit forward and backward ).

[spyro105]

how did you make the platform?

[keithlyk]

The platform you are meaning is the "game stage"?

[magikaru]

You spent 3 minutes describing how it moved, which I understood after 10 seconds. However, you blaze through all the interesting stuff (making of) without explaining anything. Thanks a lot.

I see this is not a finished work yet but could you show us sometime someone actually playing this?

[Perktube1]

[Perktube1]

this would've been the top game if tv hadn't been invented..Can't wait for him to make a mechanical COD4! lol

[aiagonso]

nice concept but...its a little weird,a moving tv?...brilliant!!!

[supermariogalaxian]

Tomorrow's tech is to make things tiny. This project can be smaller than that, come on.

[supermariogalaxian]

No, I don't agree. Since it is reality.  It gives me exercise!

[PhxSt0rmz]

Fully agree. Like the cartoons do, You use a spool of paper (mario levels) that simply spin to move mario. Im sure you can be creative and make a marking system on the paper that a LED and sensor can read to indicate where walls are, so it will stop unless mario jumps..
