I am creating a new Zelda game engine. It will use bits and pieces of my Mario engine but I will have to change a lot of code. I am using an old version of Visual C++ and Direct X. It does not have smart pointers. However, I was thinking about adding standard exception handling (try-catch-throw). I have been researching several websites and the advice I have been getting is to avoid it because it slows down performance and can make a mess of other things. In particular, game consoles (especially those from Nintendo) don't support exceptions while others (XBox) take a massive performance hit. Do any of you have any thoughts about it?]]> I have a question. I am creating a new Zelda game engine. It will use bits and pieces of my Mario engine but I will have to change a lot of code.

I wonder if someone developed something similar to Gatete Mario Engine, but on Godot.

I've seen some of them on GitHub, but I don't know how feature-complete they are. I wonder if there are some good Godot frameworks that I might not know about.]]>

What I'm hoping to find is folks who may not necessarily want to commit to regular involvement, but who would be interested in contributing in various ways as their time allows.

I am eagerly accepting submissions of original artwork, custom NPCs, promotional art and logos etc.  On the development side, I have room to include those interested in doing their own level designs, LUA coding, even game testing.

Be a part of the next chapter of Super Mario Destiny, get your name on an ambitious and exciting project, and show the world what you can do!

One detail of this ROM hack is that I won't change the mapper, it'll stay at NROM. For that, I'm looking at the disassembly and overwriting the codes and datas that I won't use, like the demo actions and the 2 player mode, and restricting the number of worlds to 7 (7-4 would be the last level). I'm using the Asar assembly to apply the custom 6502 assembly codes.

The estimative to develop and finish this project is about 6 to 7 months, because besides gaining familiarity with the level editor, I have to test the custom 6502 assembly codes I'm putting on the ROM hack.

At the moment I don't have screenshots to show, I hope in the next days I have something to show.]]>

Well, I´m working in a fangame in Scratch called "Super Mario World X-treme", this fangame is has more content than the tipic Scratch Mario´s games, more similar than mario official game´s. I alredy have the majority of the game in my mind. The structure of the game is principaly some levels with unique mecanics, some minigame´s levels and (not at all levels) a wonder flower.
Maybe the project it´s a succes, but I´m happy just to publish the proyect. The code does not exist, but maybe start in holidays.
Another day I comment.]]>

First, an older version was used to create Mushroom Kingdom Fusion. 

Second, it has something that others don't have. Bosses. (Okay, Gatete's has Boom Boom, but you know what I mean.)

I've also put a lot of custom content into it. Moving to another engine would be possible, but still a task.

Hello Engine may be outdated, but I love it. You may not love it for multiple reasons, especially a certain new submission to the main site.]]>

Have any of you had a bug in your source code that you have not caught for years because its effects were rather sporadic?

For the last 5 years, I noticed that maybe 1 out of 20 times, my Super Mario game would freeze. I had no idea what could be doing it.

Yesterday, however, I found a very subtle bug in a subroutine dealing with my animation layer. My animation layer has each animated tile with a sequence of frames. The sequence is of variable length and is dynamically allocated at run-time. However, some tiles are just single frame (such as stone or metal blocks that Mario leaves behind after hitting treasure boxes). The sequence would be of one element but my code would attempt to access a "second" element, creating a serious memory access error.

I would not have found this error except I tried to expand this subroutine to add certain special effects to my animation layer such as thunder and gradual lighting. It seems like I did not catch this bug for the last 8 years because the memory after the allocated sequence would usually read NULL, which signified the end of the sequence. However, it doesn't always have to be NULL, which is why I suspected the game froze from time to time.

Has something like this happened to you? You scratch your head for years as to why your game sometimes doesn't work once in a blue moon. Then you suddenly want to recode a subroutine and you find something that doesn't add up?]]>

Out of curiosity I was looking for extensions for 16 bit TGF and found this thread. While first post didn't lead me to anywhere, second post of Q-Nova allowed me find few extensions Click&Create, some them being 16 bit. While seemingly not immediately useful, I had in my memory knowledge that changing file extension would them allow them being used in TGF too. Well, it kinda worked as extensions did appear in TGF. However most interesting extension, one which allows change palette and most likely resolution too, just crashed when I tried test run program with this extension added as object. It did it even without adding any events to call or use this extension, so it might have been that extension and not that pesky ATI thing.

For those who are curious how can I even run 16 bit TGF, its simple. I am running PCem machine with Windows 3.11 installed in one of hard disk images. Emulating cheapest possible 486 it kinda works, barely. Also extra ugly midi, with third party midi drivers.

Anyway, I am still very curious to find more extensions for 16 bit TGF. Especially sound and graphics extensions. Anyone having information about them?]]>

All right, I am working on a Mario fan game on the Godot engine. It's primitive currently, but it works, so that's good.

Also, here's a funny screenshot I got from it. Mario got fricking stuck lol.


I won't spoil anything else about it, but there will be a lot of stuff in it, so that will be exciting for y'all.]]>
