MyDude is an action packed game that resembles Super Mario Bros. from Nintendo. It has smooth scrolling and asynchronous sounds. I wrote this game for the Macintosh just to see if it can be done and to sharpen my skills as a programmer. Please let me know what you think of it.
A complete MyDude includes:
*Read me*
MyDude program
If anybody would like to have MyDude, you may give him/her a copy , but must be complete.
This is Freeware.
REQUIREMENTS:
This demo requires 2200k of ram to run safely, must run on at least a MacII, System 6.0.7 or higher, 32-bit QuickDraw, and bit depth of (4) or 16 color mode.
OBJECTIVE:
In this game, you have to guide your character through various levels to save the princess, who is being held captive by a sinister enemy. There are various enemies and obstacles in your way as well as an abundance of treasure (hidden as well as visible ones). There is a time limit for each level, so hurry up or the clock will run out.
ABILITIES:
You can run and jump. By holding down the Super key, you can run faster and jump farther. This is necessary in the later levels.
ENEMIES:
Turtles and blue dudes are your main enemies. You can avoid or eliminate them by jumping on top of them. Also be aware of fireballs and deadly pits.
BONUS STUFF:
Simply run into objects to obtain them. Collect as many coins as you can (every 100 = extra man). Stars make you temporarily invincible to your enemies (you are blinking). Mushrooms make you larger in which you can destroy bricks by jumping and hitting them with your head.
LIMITATIONS:
You may notice a few things different. First of all there is no turtle shell to kick or to slide. Also you can not shoot fire balls. Another difference is that you can not slide and shrink down when you are large size. Finally, I only created Level 1. After you complete the last screen, the game will end.
HELPFUL NOTES:
To increase animation speed, set the Display Stats dialog to the second screen and set the Speed dialog to ZERO. I know you wont be able to see the timer, but you should have enough time to complete each level. Disabling the sounds will only give you slightly more speed. To PAUSE the game, press the CapLocks key.
I dont have an account online but I will be informed if anyone writes about the game.
