I made a somewhat accurate 8-bit SMB1 Bowser, but you might not like how i did it.

You can crucify me for what I did. I understand. While I don't know everything about GML, I can make simple edits. For example, I made entirely new Sledge Bros. based on ones I've seen & encountered in ROM hacks, mainly Roberto Zampari's hacks. but that's not what I want to talk about. I've been including 8-bit levels accessed by pipes. There are also doors that lead to sprite swaps of Bowser, but let's get to why you might start to dislike me a little bit. I made Multiple 8-bit SMB1 Bowsers and I was displeased because they weren't accurate enough, but I remembered I had decompiled Ralakimus's Super Mario Bros. NES Remake Demo. I thought I would be able to find some code in there that would make bowser act more accurately. I found obj_bowser, opened it up, and looked for the code that makes him jump. I found it. It looked like it would be compatible with the Bowsers I had made in the Hello Mario Engine for Game Maker Studio, so I copied and pasted the code over the code that was there before. It sort of worked, but Bowser jumped low like he originally did before I made the first edits. So I bumped the value from 2.5 to 4.5, and it worked. I also applied the code to some Bowsers in my edit of Hello Engine 6 Fan-Made, but in that engine, the value had to be decreased by 2.

It was just 2 lines of code, though, but I think I read somewhere that it doesn't matter how much you take. If that's the case, I'm ready to be yelled at.


Let Me go even further and post the whole Alarm:

if fall = true exit
if not place_free(x,y+sprite_height+1) or position_meeting(x,y+sprite_height+1,obj_solidtop)
vspeed = -round(random(1)+2.5); <------ I took this line of code...
alarm[1]=random(round(100))+90. <------ ...And this one.

I'll be fair. If any of you guys need code, you can steal it from me. I would prefer if you would ask me, but I just revealed that I stole from Ralakimus, so... yeah. Just don't take more than a few lines of code. I wouldn't do that.
