Lookin' awesome so far. How many levels would you guess there will be?

Uh, 5 with the first launch, assuming I finish this .

Prolly 10 max -- only 20 levels in teh game.

Looking cool, good to see teh bobness lives on in some respect .

Looks good so far. Keep up the good work!

We could use a new Mario game like this for math class...

Plus, no one's done a Mario Bros 2 port/interpretation before. At least not one quite like this. You might say this puts a new...spin on the series. (Crap! That pun would've worked before on a Sonic game)

Wow, this is great! I would love to see a mario 2 clone on the z80!

I'm aware of teh other cool mario thingy but atleast mine is based on SMA which is totally more cool.

I'd love to see more parabolic jumps/throws.
The coins look a bit too stretched in my opinion. Apart from that, it's good!

SMA is actually just a port of SMB2, which is a remake (?) of a japanese game because we guys from the wester half of the world are to dumb to play the true SMB2

I'd love to see more parabolic jumps/throws.

I don't understand physics, but how is it supposed to be in mario?

Are you supposed to like accelerate upward and slow down then fall back down? =X

Yeah:

The easiest way is to keep a vertical velocity. Every frame you add this velocity to the y coordinate and increment its value.
Example:
ypos dy
50, -2
48, -1.5
46.5, -1
45.5, -0.5
45, 0
45, 0.5
45.5, 1
46.5, 1.5
48, 2
(ok, this is a pathetic little hop but it's an example )
See how he raises fast then lingers in the air and falls back down

You'll have to use fixed point numbers though

That's the second time you've done that, cjgone - make sure you hit the "post reply" instead of the "new topic" button. *merges*

I'm assuming they want this: y=Vo*t + 1/2 at^2, where y is distance it travels up, Vo = initial vertical velocity, a = gravity or 9.8 m/s^2 and t for time.

Basically you need to figure out what you want your initial velocity to be, or how fast you want to throw it upwards. That will allow you to figure out how high it will go and the time it takes for you to throw it up and for it to fall down to the ground.

Now, once you have the time, all you need to do is have a separate velocity, or horizontal velocity, to determine how much you want it to travel forward.
