zig-mario

My implementation of Super Mario in zig using raylib and an ECS.

I'm working on this game as part of The 20 Games Challenge. Super Mario is Challenge #6.

Goals

source: The 20 Games Challenge #6 (Super Mario)

• Create a 2D character controller. Mario should be able to walk, run, and jump.
• Create a single level. You can make world 1-1, or design your own level. The level should be made up of textured tiles. There will also be some special elements:
  • Add “question mark” boxes. These will contain coins or power ups.
  • Add warp pipes. Mario should be able to enter these by pressing the “down” button. He will exit a pipe somewhere else on the map.
  • At the end of the level should be a castle and a flagpole. Touching the flagpole will end the level.
• Add enemies to the level. Goombas will walk in a straight line and turn around when they hit something. Jumping on a Goomba will squash it.
• Add Koopas. Koopas will retreat into their shell when stomped on. The shell will move when hit again.
• Add power ups. A mushroom will cause Mario to increase in size. Feel free to add stars or fire flowers as well.
• Make your own sprites, sound effects, and music. Pay special attention to the artwork for repeating tiles, pattern should look good when repeated.
• Add a life counter and level timer. Mario will die if the timer reaches zero before he finds the level exit.

TODO

• Make velocity consistent for different frame rates.
