- hektur, on 04/09/2008, -4/+377Oh my god! Bush.js is the same as cloud.js.
- JasonHears, on 04/09/2008, -1/+235don't go left....
- CLShortFuse, on 04/09/2008, -0/+163For comparison: The original Super Mario Bros NES cart is 40 kilobytes.
- iofthestorm, on 04/09/2008, -0/+95Well, this is actually only World 1-1 so this is more bloated, but then that was probably assembly-ish language or some low level language, whereas this is javascript with insane workarounds to get around Javascript's limitations. Personally, the javascript part is more impressive to me than the 14kb part.
- iofthestorm, on 04/09/2008, -2/+70Because it's an awesome example of programming. This is real tech news, and people are impressed by it.
- timisondigglol, on 04/09/2008, -13/+63Thats cute attempt. It doesn't play anything like Mario though.
Dugg for cool use of javascript regardless. - chawkie, on 04/09/2008, -1/+39That is some deranged music...
- theaceoffire, on 04/09/2008, -5/+39You are Meh.
- Switch07, on 04/09/2008, -2/+35Mario without the shrooms?? what is this???
anyways... props for making it 14kbs - theaceoffire, on 04/09/2008, -3/+35I was impressed.
- chrisaug18, on 04/09/2008, -0/+30....or past the end
- d3faultnet, on 04/09/2008, -3/+31it's was probably incredibly difficult to code as it is, and you want MORE!?!? it won't be hard for you to get the source files, so why don't you go add it in eh?
- hackysackwizard, on 04/09/2008, -2/+30Ahh, I see. He saved space by using the same sprite for the cloud as the bushes. Ingenious!
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -6/+30does anyone else's browser download a file called "unknown" when you die?
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+23That's pretty much always been a seminal rule for Mario games
- aplardi, on 04/09/2008, -1/+22Javascript..... iPhone... java script.... iphone...
/me tries
it runs... wow... you cant...control it.. but it runs... oh how i long for java script iphone games - Canadacdn, on 04/09/2008, -0/+21Damn, Mario's been training! He can outrun the friggin' screen!
- DeathJux, on 04/09/2008, -0/+21Efficiency is ALWAYS a goal to strive for, regardless of other circumstances.
- rakstar, on 04/09/2008, -0/+19can't wait for the Super Mario Galaxy version
- qwerty314, on 04/09/2008, -1/+18Not perfect, but dugg for 14kb.
- ligyron, on 04/09/2008, -1/+18Well they can't exactly name the file "heaven" or "hell"
- wondertwins, on 04/09/2008, -2/+18that was pretty fun. However I was dissapointed when i jumped off the ledge and there was no flag.
- pikagrue, on 04/09/2008, -0/+16You ruined my day.js
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+14damn my curiosity
- kaniz, on 04/09/2008, -0/+14Had this been released as a "beta of a fully playable game that you are expected to pay for" then I fully agree
As a "Hey, this is a thing I've been working on because I'm geeky and like to try new things, what do you think?" - its fine. Its neat, it has me interested and I find it impressive.
Had this been released as a 'final playable product' on a internet gaming site - I'd fully agree with you. But, for what its released as / intended for - its fine. - liquidtaco, on 04/09/2008, -3/+16mine did. maybe this is just a conspiracy to install rootkits on everyone's computers.
- TheRealToma, on 04/09/2008, -2/+15Run into a goomba then hit jump! You can fly!!! Sorta...
- cowsgonemadd3, on 04/09/2008, -0/+12I went left....call me curious george....I broke the game.
- lucutus, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11You FAIL at the internets. A very small percentage has the connection speed you speak of world wide. Efficient code makes the financial world work. Would you want to wait for 17 connections and .net services to load up in order to swipe your debit card and pay for your beer? Do you have any idea how much data is still processed even in the USA at 2400 baud via modem? It's because it is reliable and works in poor conditions where MNP5 is all that can overcome the weak or noisey lines. Without efficient code this among many other data services would fail. Too many believe it's fine to just call on full libraries of code for one function rather that write efficient code and choose functions carefully based on load and cycles.
- jttennisplaya81, on 04/09/2008, -0/+11I still can't get over that =[
- Dokument, on 04/09/2008, -1/+11yeahh.... i'm also loving the Parkinson's Mario.
- foofoobee, on 04/09/2008, -0/+10The point of this was not to create a fully playable game. As it says in the first sentence: this is "an experiment in keepings things small and confined to one Javascript file." It's just a toy, relax.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -0/+10It's to show of what can be done in such a small size, with javascript. Not for the sole purpose of entertainment.
- theblt, on 04/09/2008, -0/+9http://www.d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y.com/
- akwok, on 04/09/2008, -0/+9That means the NES cart is 40 kilobytes.
This game is 14 kilobytes. - MattNF, on 04/09/2008, -1/+10Yeah, it did for me.
- Squigly, on 04/09/2008, -0/+9I didn't even think of it until you told me not to. And then I did :P
- jokr004, on 04/09/2008, -1/+9but if they had added more, it wouldn't be a 14kb js
- Coded1, on 04/09/2008, -1/+9Don't forget that was after compression using hardware geared for gaming and a programming language to suit it. Not some script that is meant for you to make minor changes to a web page to amuse visitors.
- hawk3210, on 04/09/2008, -0/+8My whole life has been a lie since I first realized that horrible, shocking news.
Not as much of a lie as the cake, however. - Burn, on 04/09/2008, -0/+8Actually the code you just posted proved he is using the /same/ sprites, just with a different palette.
- Tarkaan, on 04/09/2008, -2/+10Looks fine in FF.
- troopa, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7Yep, that's basically how they felt, actually.
- antdude, on 04/09/2008, -1/+8I didn't get any music. :(
- dcoolidge, on 04/09/2008, -4/+11nope
- LocalDocal, on 04/09/2008, -2/+9Aside from the aforementioned World 1-1 only, the game is also noticeably missing some things from the original, such as mushrooms, animations, and so on. Hell, some of the coin blocks aren't even working.
- inactive, on 04/09/2008, -2/+9Why are all of the boxes coins
And the goombas walk the wrong direction where the fire flower should be. - c0baltfish, on 04/09/2008, -0/+7Dipping into the mspaint are we?
- Spuy767, on 04/09/2008, -2/+9C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER?
