Description

You play as Mario, who's desperately trying to defend himself against an onslaught of Koopa shells! Use the left/right arrow keys to run, the space bar to jump, and the "e" button to shoot fireballs! Shoot fireballs at the shells to destroy them. If you get hit by a shell, it's game over. Only tested on Win XP so far, but as far as I know it's cross-platform compatible. Please leave your comments and criticism, and feel free to poke around through the code and comment on how I could be doing things better.

Thanks for the heads-up. I'm aware that Linux\Unix (and Mac OS) are case-sensitive, and I thought I had taken care to make sure my code matched the file names exactly. Whoops! As for jumping on the shells, I just added that functionality in the game last night, as well as animating Mario's sprite, and plan to upload that today. Thanks for the comments!

It's not very cross-compatible as is, couldn't run it on ubuntu linux. Fortunately I was able to fix it and get it to work. First of all some of your filenames have caps in them while the code doesn't. Although windows doesn't care about about caps in the filename linux and osX do. So you need to change the name of: mario.PNG pow.PNG to: mario.png pow.png Also, I got numerous: typerror: function() takes no keyword arguments which I fixed by modifying the following sections of game.py to read: line 48: background.blit( sur, (0,0)) line 58: background.blit( sur, (0,0)) line 101: pygame.mixer.pre_init() Beyond that it's not a bad little game, I keep wanting to jump on the shells out of habit though and keep dying because of that.
