Open the game (click here) then select 'Open' when the dialog appears; be sure to do a Save As.. immediately and save it somewhere safe (like your Home directory); otherwise you'll forget later and save it back to the temporary location -- then you'll probably lose it. This is a simple platform-type game, most of the functionality is achieved with colours: - Mario can stand on the black parts. The soles of his feet are a particular colour and as long as that colour is touching black he doesn't fall.
- If he touches red he dies.
- If he touches yellow it changes to the next level.
- If he touches the coin it disappears.
- If he touches the Goomba he dies.
- Use right and left arrow to move Mario
- Press Space to jump, you can also double-jump by pressing Space twice.
The parts to this challenge are (in increasing order of difficulty): - Make the second level achievable (ideas: add new blocks, add a ladder, perhaps add some 'fire' to make it harder too).
- Add a new level.
- Add a score, one point for each coin.
- Add a new colour that Mario can't walk through and add obstacles to a level using it.
- Add lives, you get three lives at the start and lose a life each time you 'die'. Dying restarts you back at the start of the level.
- Make the Goomba move.
- Add a 'gorilla' who sits at the top and throws bananas down which kill Mario.
