A Super Mario Source Code

not bad at all, but even if you don't like OO (like me, i think people generally go way overboard with OO,)
it's still nice to use certain aspects of it, especially with matrices and vectors
passing pointers around is also something i like less and less, since its so easy to pass references around

its just better code, with no effort
nice demo though

Thanks for sharing. I think those monolithic subroutines can be split into many smaller subroutines, to help readability.

Yes, but there is no pass by reference in C, so pointers will have to do.

I am having issues running the program on my computer. I get a message that changes it to windows 7 basic colour (but when does it not with Allegro apps?). The main issue I have is that it doesn't look like it refreshes/redraws itself and I move, and 5 seconds later I'll be at another portion of the level, frozen again. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Also, include the alleg42.dll with your exe as I had to put it in myself for it to run.

Ok, so I rarely download source code, but I'm assuming that since it's in C, I need something that isn't Visual Studio to view it, right?

Nice, I like it.

But as already mentioned, remember to put your required .dll's and other files in the zip.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to play it on Linux. It seems like the game divides something by zero. I'm posting output from the debugger, hope it helps.
