Credit

I got a lot of help making this game from the game development lectures posted by Professor Churchill on YouTube and from a guide on the physics of Super Mario Bros posted by Jdaster64. I wouldn't have been able to make this game without the information they have generously made publicly available.

• The lectures on game development.
• The guide on the physics of SMB.

Commands

The following commands are intended for Ubuntu users, and assume that all perquisites are installed. I make no guaranty that the game will build for other OSs. Additionally, some basic understanding of building and running projects is assumed, so some details are left out.

The perquisites:

• SFML
• CMake
• GCC

To build the project and run it:

$ make run

To just build it:

$ make all

To remove all binaries:

$ make clean
