I am programming a new mario game in DarkBASIC. I want it to be more like smb3, but with yoshi. I have lots of ideas for the game (over 20 kb of text). If you know anything about 2d game programming, have sprites, sounds, music, or backgrounds and want to help with the project or simply give suggestions please email dennisshows@yahoo.com with "Mario 2D" in the subject, or post your reply in this forum.

Any of the Wario Land stuff would help because I am including him in the game, but can not find many sounds, music files, or images for him.

I am also planning on having Donkey Kong, Zelda, and other Nintendo characters in the game.

Thanks, dennisshows@yahoo.com

You can find lots of sprites at The Shyguy Kingdom, and a lot of good WAVs on TMK.

Thanks, I already have almost all of the sprites I will need from The Shyguy Kingdom. I have WAVs from TMK. Although not nearly all that I will eventually need, I can put the specific sounds in later. Now I am concentrating on the story, gameplay, and graphics.

If it is large please but it in a zipped folder and if it is very large you might need to contact me first so that I can have space in my email available.

You allways wanted to speaketh like whateth.

Thanks to those who suggested The Shyguy Kingdom for sprite sheets and http://www.vgmusic.com/ for video game music. I have found most everything I need at those two sites. I still need a few more sounds and backgrounds, but my main thing right now is storyboarding the game and programming the code for Mario (and other characters) movement.

If anyone here uses DarkBASIC and can offer any help please let me know.

You saw my movement engine in the emails, does it help at all?

I thought it was good when I played your game, but I haven't realy looked at it in detail because I am trying to build from the ground up so that I understand everything about my code. Also, I am studing C++ and considering it to build my game.

Yikes! This sucker is over 10 mb big! perhaps I will make two different zipped files.....

Umm... back a while, it should have been "Dost thou" instead of "Doth thou." And if I have any useful stuff to contribute, I will say.

There are lots of free and free trial game making programs on the net.

I prefer to program in DarkBASIC which is a version of BASIC that has commands for sprites, 3D object, etc. for game making. You can get a 30 day trial at http://darkbasic.com/download.php but I recommend DarkBasicPro because it has a better interface.

"The Game Factory" is also popular and doesn't require programming to make simple games although the interface is a little hard to learn. I think it is now free without a time limit. MultiMediaFusion (MMF) is also available from http://clickteam.com for a 30 day trial. It is a sort of upgrade of the discontinued GameFactory.

"Game Maker" is a similiar program that is available free on the web at http://www.cs.uu.nl/~markov/gmaker/

You might also want to check out the free "Scrolling Game Development Kit" (GameDev for short) at http://gamedev.sourceforge.net/

If you don't want to program or design your own games, you might want to hack a rom. My favorite program for beginners is "Lunar Magic" It allows you to move, copy, and change the size of objects in "Super Mario World" and then play it in a emulator. You can get it at http://uct2.net/~fusoya/lm/ but you will need to download the rom from somewhere else if you don't have it already.

If you are really serious about making a game I suggest you learn C++.

PASCAL can be used for games, but I think it is a little difficult because it doesn't have commands specifically for game coding Nonetheless, a great game has been made in Turbo PASCAL by Mike Wiering (mike.wiering@wxs.nl). The whole game is below 64K You can get the game and the source code at http://home.wxs.nl/~mike.wiering/mario/

Enjoy !)

I prefer using DarkBASIC for game coding. If there are any DB users out there that want to share DB stuff or work together on SNES type games let me know.
