Hey all,
Figured I'd find more old-timers like me on the forum than on the Discord. I'm trying to track down an old GM7/8 Example I learned heavily from back when I was like, 10 years old. It showcased basic platforming and jump-through platforms using only magenta blocks and lines, wall-jumping and wall-slides, used a way-overcommit, SMW-color-palleted Mario that looked more like it was from New Super Mario Bros. Mario in how he moved. Mario generated little dust puffs under his feet when you landed a jump, and as he slid down the walls. If I remember correctly, it was mostly GML.
I've tried searching the tutorials section pretty extensively, and man, THAT was a trip down memory lane, but still no luck. I'm hoping that my description jogs some memories for somebody, I'm mostly just curious. Now that I've learned more about programming and am actually in a job that lets me use that skill, I want to go back and take a look at where it started for old-times sake. If anyone can help, I can offer only sincere thanks.
Edit: I'm remembering suddenly that it was also a triple jump tutorial in a platforming environment. Maybe I'll go look again based on that.
Edit 2: I'm insane and have kept looking, I found the sprites that were used for Mario, they're from the New Super Mario World sheet by Rapid The Hedgehog. I'm one step closer to cracking this mystery!
