Wonderful stuff! I can't wait to see what updates this might have in the future.

This is very exciting. Are you planning on adding any features to it or are you just keeping it like this? I would love to figure out how to add rope swings and a lighting engine to it.

Ha ha, I love the Super Mario World tiles and sprites! Looks like the ground itself is from HappyLand Adventures. That was one of my childhood games, such a cozy game (-w-)

I heard that Spelunky used the version of Martin Piecyk's platformer engine for the original GameMaker (the one I was originally looking for, even now in 2020 believe it or not, but I'm glad I found this! ^o^), and apparently AM2R used a version of Martin Piecyk's platformer engine as well. So, those are two great examples of how versatile Piecyk's platform engines are.



Edit: Oh, it was posted by Luís Sousa, not Martin Piecyk. No wonder that there's non royalty-free graphics in the screenshot lol

Silly me x3

Another edit: Thank you Luís for posting this, even if you did so 3 years ago and thus will most likely not read this comment xp
Does anyone know if there's a version for GameMaker Studio 2, or if you can port-
Do you know what? I'll greatly appreciate if someone can answer the first question, or if it's possible to port Studio 1 code to Studio 2, but I'll also look for the answers to these questions myself...
In time lol

Oh, this was made by Martin Piecyk, not the person who posted this. But my compliments to them as well for doing so!
