yea, that gangsta mario, in the mario2demo you would hit the block and a gun would come out you use to shoot goombas, i made it in 1.5 a while back. then when you get the mushroom mario would shoot the big bullet-bills from mario world

Here's my project so far! I've made a player that can jump and wall jump, and there's no real problems so far, except the controls sometimes feel floaty, which mostly takes time/experimenting to fix. The next thing I'd like to do with it is make the player jump higher as you hold space but that had some problems so I left it out for now.

EDIT: working  on making it feel better, I'll post again when I feel like it's made some progress. might even work ok with inclines.

This is great! Works perfectly on my machine. I'll try on the G3 laptop.

I think the floaty-ness is caused by the lag of SilverCreator contacting Box2D. I'm going to see if I can get rid of it.
Or wait, it could be a technical issue. Like there's a clear forces command that can be set on shapes. Maybe that would fix it.

You gotta open the SCBox2D plugin first for the physics to work.

I'm actually using the current version Gan put in the first post and I copied the UNUPDATED 800x600 Template. But I don't see why that should cause a problem...

EDIT: Eq I tried it with the Beta 5 of the plugin and it seemed fine...

AND I almost forgot, here's the new version!
The controls feel a bit tighter now and wall-jumps work perfectly.

Thanks again, Gan!

Yeah beta5's the newest. It worked fine for me. Hmm.
Using ScB3.1?

EDIT: Nice! It does feel more responsive. I really like the wall jumping.

Cool, thanks Gan.
I thought of some little tricks, such as giving more force to the player when you're pressing opposite the way you're already moving. Because it's a video game, it doesn't have to be realistic. It just has to look good and feel good. :P (Notice how Mario has telekinesis and can change his path in mid-air)

And I just tried the new platformer demo, nicely done!! No real problems so far, except that you can only last like 10 seconds without getting hit.
Plus I was inspired with a funny game you might make do with it. It's like Gauntlet because you fight hordes of lots of enemies but it's a platformer. Because this gets kinda hard with so many at once but it's fun too.

you can take alot of hits without dieing though. and mushrooms restore health/size

 heheh, "miniscule mario", he can get so small that he flys under the hit boxes of larger enemies, he eventually gets so small he falls through the cracks

Yeah I noticed the 'shrooms increase size, that could be something to use in  an actual game. Also I walked under a lot of goombas testing out the thing with the smallest size. You could even have enemies that you need to be above a certain size to kill.

ok, i had to restart, the plugin wasnt quiting.

the possiblilities with this physics engine are endless, we can make legitimate action games with this. can this use sprites too?

the platform demos controls are way to loose and theres no speed limit, that needs to be worked out, i keep flying off the platforms, but the wall jumping is a good idea, what a about a game with ninjas, we should do a group project with this, i can do graphics, ide like to see this physics engine get used

Yeah sprites work fine with this.
A group project would be awesome.
