Hey, this is my first post and first submition so don't be too harsh Confused Its a mario style game but with turing graphics because, well frankly, im no artist. Use the arrow keys to move, kill baddies by jumping on them and collect stars. This is only a beta version since the first level hasn't been completed yet, but the whole gameplay engine is complete. I just want some feedback and whatnot on it. Thanks.

Very nice.
There is a problem with the Again or Quit buttons because they are unresponsive. And when they do respond the game runs really fast for 2 seconds and I lose a life. But overall it is good. You should add graphics, just rip them off the real mario game.

Woah...that runs waaaay too fast on my comp. If you can add an FPS factor to it, or a variable delay amount.

From what little of it I saw it's looking pretty good.

Actually it runs faster on my school comps then my home one. Also on my school one i was gettin the unresponsive glitch with the buttons. I don't get why it has variable speeds for different comps, gotta figure it out.

I updated it so that you can change the delay before and during game play. So now at least everyone can set it to a comfortable speed. Also you can quit, just hit Q.

Ok...this is one of the greatest fallacies of Turing. The way the delay commands work are not based on real time, but on CPU speed. Thus, a delay of (10) on one computer is quite different than the same delay on another computer.
To fix this, one needs to incorporate FPS capping and the like...

.rar is like a .zip file, you'll need winrar.

Nope, you can download it for free just like winzip. Just search for it on google.

Is there any way I'd be able to see the code for that game, because I need help with the Mario game I am making for my final project.

very nice game except for the fact every time u die u start back from the very start and u should make a save button.

for the people that want to download winrar they could just go to http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm and click on the first link and the download will start. i don't really know if after the trial u could still use it though like shadow master said.
