Mariocraft.com - A Community Based SMB

After three years of joyful experiments I'm glad to present you the result of them. Mariocraft is a SMB web project based solely on HTML5/CSS/JS, without canvas. The whole idea behind it was to create a community in order to build and share new kind of SMB experience. To achieve this goal, I focused most of my efforts on the editor, making it as easy to use for beginners without forgetting about advanced users (shortcuts, etc.) I tried to create overall design which matches subject of my nostalgia – the 80's. Hence, you'll have the pleasure to encounter less fancy effects and more…

What it does

In the maker’s words, at launch

After three years of joyful experiments I'm glad to present you the result of them. Mariocraft is a SMB web project based solely on HTML5/CSS/JS, without canvas. The whole idea behind it was to create a community in order to build and share new kind of SMB experience. To achieve this goal, I focused most of my efforts on the editor, making it as easy to use for beginners without forgetting about advanced users (shortcuts, etc.) I tried to create overall design which matches subject of my nostalgia – the 80's. Hence, you'll have the pleasure to encounter less fancy effects and more 8 bits images. Once you have created a world, it is serialized in a database. At this point you can share your world with anybody just by sending a link. I must precise that anybody can play without a need to register. Registration is only required to perform editing or creation of a new world. Here is an example of a world I made for the HN community: http://mariocraft.com/show_hn/s/xumi and if you want a little challenge, here it is: http://mariocraft.com/nfXdir/s/xumi (beat my time if you dare: 346) Oh, and please note that for this demo sounds and musics are available only to registered users to spare some bandwidth. If you are interested in the project you can visit a little blog about it which I started: http://blog.mariocraft.com. Naturally, all the client side code will soon be available on Github. Thanks for your time, I hope to see you soon jumping on Goombas with me!

    made a html5 game, polished it many many times2011 · hotbazooka.com · ▲211

    hi all, I've always wanted to make my own game, but couldn't afford a thousand-dollar adobe (flash+photoshop) license. I'm not a talented programmer, have no degree in CS. But I understand some elements of design. So I got me a copy of ImpactJS, and after about 5 months of steep learning curve (at least for me), I managed to come up with a game. I also integrated it with a highscore and badge system, similar to what you get at Kongregate. You need to login with Google/OpenID to earn badges/scores. link is: http://www.hotbazooka.com/privatejoe hope to hear some feedback/questions from you guys!

    My Fast CSS Sprite Generator2010 · ▲22

    I've been working on a CSS Sprite generator for a couple of weeks in my spare time. It uses HTML Canvas and JavaScript FileReader to open local images without any zipping or uploads, and tries to make the CSS generation as easy as possible. I made it because it is a tool that I wanted to have, and I am hoping to get some feedback from others now that it is functional. http://instantsprite.com

    Tiny JS – A Tiny JavaScript Library for Easy DOM Creation2024 · github.com · ▲7

    Hi everyone, the other day I was here cause I thought I came up with a neat way of creating HTML via JavaScript [1] - After some iterations, I'm quite content with the code I wrote. Since I intend to use this in my personal projects, I thought others might as well. 1 - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41451559
