He ate lot of mushroom

I kept telling him to go easy on those, but he just wouldn't stop!

Looking nice! You should make it so that the leftmost column of sprites clips, though

also a thing you can do is overlay white pixels ontop your sprite so it wont combine with the background
in your image editor you are going to have to draw what will become white in black though

Code: Select all

gb.display.drawBitmap(x,y,spriteBlack);
gb.display.setColor(WHITE, WHITE);
gb.display.drawBitmap(x,y,spriteWhite);
gb.display.setColor(BLACK, WHITE);


hope that makes sence

Hey! Looks good!

Are you going to create all SuperMarioLand levels?
What's the length of one level?

Keep us in touch!

Hey guys, sorry for not responding for a couple of days.

Are you going to create all SuperMarioLand levels?

I am actually making my own levels.
The length of one level is 100 bytes, and the height is 6 bytes.
If anyone knows how to optimize this any help would be appreciated.

i have not tryed it myself but you could load maps from the sd card
same size map probebly since i think your locked to the ram size

Most of your levels should be empty, so instead of storing everything in a by array, you could store you level in "blocks" of tiles, defined like a rectangle and filled with a certain type of block. Depending of what type of levels you make, this solution can really compact your data. It should look like this :

Code: Select all

struct block {
byte x;
byte y;
byte w;
byte h;
byte block_type;
};


If you want to keep the array solution, you can try to only use 16 types of blocks per level. By doing that you can store 2 blocks in 1 byte dividing by two the size of a level. You can get the block Id by doing some byte-wise arithmetic.

Can you tell me how to do the arithmetic?
