Re: [Super-tux-devel] Level-file / Level-features

[Ricardo C. <ri...@ae...>]

 I think the question that Tobias asked is if SuperTux should mimic SuperMa=
rio=20
1 or Super Mario 3 or simply be original. In the Open Source development,=20
basing a game in another is very good for programmers, since the programmer=
s=20
already know the features that it needs and the behaver it should have.

 I would like to see the best of all the Marios and a touch of originality.=
 I=20
think it would be better for us to discuss in the IRC. Since this affects t=
he=20
players, an IRC meeting should be posted in the Gametome. A guideline shoul=
d=20
be created then.

 About the parallax, yep that would be neat ;)

It would seem that evil retreats when forcibly confronted.
