Super Mario 84

The biggest slowdown is that I have somethings completely redraw the map. I will be adding a simple function to draw the tile at a certain position to fix this.
Example of this is when an enemy falls upside down off the screen, the blocks behind him need to be redrawn.

Mario's physics have a bit to do with it as well

I think you missed part of what i was saying
You should have a separate buffer that only has the visable tilemap on it. It is in this buffer that you do your partial redraw stuff. Each frame you copy that to the main buffer, and then draw the entities onto the main buffer. The tile map should be fully drawn (onto the secondary buffer) only once, right before the game loop, or if a block changes or something (even then you don't have to redraw the whole tilemap)

Yeah, what happened was that I haven't updated the enemy code to do that. I have been focusing on better collision detection, because I changed how the map is stored.

By the way, will Mario have an extra white outline when walking on dark backgrounds?

Ahh ok

Once I implement them, yes

Do you plan for this game to be compatible with the worlds from Super Mario 2.0, and maybe adding new worlds with some new features?

In keeping with the inspiration of Project M, maybe you can add Yoshi?

[annoyingcalc]

I'm not sure about levels from Super Mario 2.0. If I do add it, it'll be probably be after it's released.

As for Yoshi, most likely not.

[JWinslow23]

As for Yoshi, most likely not.

Aweh Well, at least I hope you can make your own levels. It's just not a modern Mario game if you can't make your own levels *cough*MarioMaker*cough*

Maybe there could be some converter or something once the game is done so that old Mario levels work. you would need to ensure that the new graphics works well with the levels, though, and obviously some might no longer be beatable due to physics, but that's fine since people can simply create new ones.

[annoyingcalc]

The biggest problem would be that this supports vertical scrolling while Sam Heald's does not.

Update:Working on the physics (the cause of the program looking slow)

Edit:As for a level editor, the only thing that needs to be done is the ability to name the levels.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

Yeah but can your engine detect maximum level height or is it a fixed height for every level? Sam Heald's Mario levels would just need to be converted with extra rows of tiles (empty).

Also if speed is an issue, would frame skipping fix some of it? (eg only rendering every 8 frame)

[semiprocoder]

Do you plan to have bullets in your mario game?

[annoyingcalc]

Currently, it's a fixed height of 16 blocks.  Speed isn't the issue, it's the physics making it look slow. As for bullets, yes  they are planned along with koopas.

[Dream of Omnimaga]

YEah this is why I insisted to ensure that physic isn't overly complex (or at least not as complex as Zedd). i hope you can overcome the speed problems, though.
