Doraemon, I'm not quite sure what the problem is, but if you're still experiencing it maybe you could make a Lha of the Backbone directory with all the files, send it over and I could have a look, try and compile it myself.

I would like to put together a collection of blocks and sprites that people are free to use in their games, so currently Cammy and I are working on a game which uses these graphics as a demonstration of how they can be used, then we'll release the game and all the free graphics, and the Backbone files for anyone to have a look at how it's all put together.

Inspired by amiman99, we put together this first level of Super Mario Bros but it's not really feature-complete, it was just for fun. We just copied the level layout from the original game, all I did was remapped the tiles and sprites to a single 15 colour palette.

You may need to extract it to a SFS or PFS partition, not RAM Disk:

Cool.

I think I used something like that before, but in the mid-1990s. Hmm. Trying to recall if it was the same program or not. :insane:

It seems I can't edit my post, but I found out the file I linked to earlier has some problems with filenames not having the right names on some people's setups. So I've recompiled the Mario level and uploaded it here:  http://home.exetel.com.au/~amiga/SuperMario.lha

Let me take a look...

BTW, I'm still working on my game, but is very slow. There are some bugs in the engine that I need to get around, like the enemies not stopping were they supposed to and disappearing, or walking in mid air. I guess, I was to ambitious with the idea, so it looks like it will be shorter, but hopefully complete.

Looking good. Is it me, though, or does the main character look like the Grandfather from that movie, Witness?

Working with Cammy, sounds terrific.
She's one of those rare people that reinforce my frail faith in humanity.
BTW - Talk her into posting more often, she is missed.

The first level is made with her tile set (modified) and one enemy, so credit is given. With out her tutorial this game probably would not happen.

I think with a good graphic artist you can create some good games with Backbone.

Good point, artistic ability is vital in creating a decent game.
