MarioRun.zip

Since it's cold out here in the usa I have been programming again. Run mario around and catch the dropping objects for points. Don't catch the fireballs, they take points away. As your score goes up , the objects drop faster. It plays ok , but has some collision problems that leave artifacts on the screen some times. Games goes on but looks kinda messy. Any pointers on fixing this would be greatly received, as I would learn from this too. This was programmed for the picovga version. Seemed we need some more games for this platform.

Hi Jack,

Great that someone is writing more games for the PicoMiteVGA, one day I might even get down to sorting out a compilation with a menu-system.

I haven't had a chance to try it, but perhaps the artifacts are to do with the order in which sprites are shown and hidden, i.e. is the falling object always drawn ontop of the Mario sprite or can it vary ?

You might also want to consider finding some copyright free 8-bit "player" sprites rather than using Mario.

Best wishes,

Tom

If sprite order is a problem you should use:

SPRITE HIDE SAFE

Quote Removes sprite n from the display and replaces the stored background.
Automatically hides all more recent sprites as well as the requested one and
then replaces them afterwards. This ensures that sprites that are covered by
other sprites can be removed without the user tracking the write order. Of
course this version is less performant than the simple version and should
only be used it there is a risk of the sprite being partially covered

It is also better to do all the work on a framebuffer and then copy to the display screen once all the moving is finished

I think you may have a logic error when mario meets the sprite as it hits the bottom of the screen
