THE GAME :
Multi Screen Mario Bros is a Game & Watch of 1983 in which one player plays Mario on the right screen and the other plays his brother Luigi on the left screen. Each one has the objective to move the boxes from one floor to the other by placing themselves in the right place so that they don’t fall, in which case they lose a life on their three available. The goal is to get the most boxes to the truck.
MY WORK :
This project is my first programming experience. It was the origin of my understanding of C# language and object-oriented programming and interaction.
At first, I analyzed the original Game & Watch rushes in order to better understand the possibilities of the game and in particular the possible actions in the game. I’ve already programmed the movements of the characters. It was necessary to make the game playable for two players on a single keyboard and thus think the inputs accordingly. I then realized the movement of the boxes from one waypoint to another based on the ticks. Finally, the miss counter when a box falls, scoring increment when a crate is deposited in the truck, some animations and sound effects.
