Here: visit this webpage - it has a game on it. Tell me what you think:

Super Mario 2 - JavaScript Version

First time I saw it, I said wow. You should check to see how much code this Japanese guy uses too. It is a lot!!

Doesn't seem to work in FF.

[mburt]

And even in IE it's extremely glitchy. Not really that impressive actually.

[Twey]

The Lemmings are more impressive.

[james438]

Yah, it does seem to only work in ie, but I thought it was rather impressive.

[magicyte]

Yeah. It is glitchy, and only works in IE and Netscape, but my point was that he used a lot of code as soon as I looked at the source.

But, yeah, it is pretty glitchy. Liked it cuz my computer is fast. BTW, Twey, how the flip do you think they got those graphics and code? Great job, though.

It's simple pixel-art of a sort not too difficult to reproduce, even without ripping the sprites from the original games. The code needn't be that big, either: I wrote about half a game toolkit once, with considerably more sophisticated physics, and it weighed in at only about two hundred lines.

[mburt]

Yeah I made an RPG-like game and it was half decent... Haha it was over 200 lines not even finished though, so I guess it wasn't that efficient. It could load screens and (game) objects easily... So yeah.

[magicyte]

Wow.

1) How do sprites work w/ JavaScript or even ANY language?

2) My Inventions game sucked. The WHOLE thing weighed in at more than 800 lines... or was it 1000?
