Xerent's mario game

[Office_Shredder]

I'm sure you all know of xerent's game:http://www.studioxe.com/mario.swf


Let's see who can beat this high score with just two enemies, and 100 points per hit :)

this one :D

and its not photoshoped.

[Office_Shredder]

No, that's called a doctored picture.

My picture is real, untouched, a pure screenshot.

[ReNeGAdE]

cmon man anyone can see that is doctored, spend some TIME on it!

[noidea]

mine too, office, if you catch the enemy there, dont stop pressing the up cursor key and you can score all what you want.

[insignifiGant]

it's not doctored... it is a bug in the game....

I am racking up points as we speak...

currently at about 150 thousand.

edit - I'm about to break one million... shhhhhhh

[xerent]

Ugh, I'll have to fix that now too.

Stop finding holes in my sub-par work! I command you!

[Office_Shredder]

heeheehee... I got it to work..... give me enough time, I'll crack 1,000,000,000

[insignifiGant]

it's just that... bouncing under the block bug...

well

that and not destroying the enemy soon enough.

[Snarr]

Lol I don't know why but I'm quite but I feel achieved having passed 1 million.

-EDIT-
Weeee check us out insig, we are banner buddies.

I got mine running in the back... I'm already over 1.2 mill

you'll never catch up!

edit - they were perfectly in sync for me..

[xerent]

I'm going to code this program to track an IP address, and if it matches with that of Snarrs ir Insig's, to send a feedback shock, preferrably to the keyboard.

[Office_Shredder]

Let's see if anyone can get to 400 a different way then...

ouch....

p.s. I'm at about 2.7 mill

[Bottle]

Jump up through the goomba.

Edit: Maybe not. But I am on 110000.

[insignifiGant]

I can get to 300 without using the block bounce bug bananza

what I do... is... jump up through the first goomba... then land on the second one and hit it twice...


edit - 3.2 million

[Office_Shredder]

You can hit the first goomba three times, but then you don't have time to hit the second one twice

What you do is jump on his eyebrows as he's falling, then let mario bounce on him twice more. It's tricky at first to pull off.

[Bottle]

Hehe, I'm going to calculate the frequency of the bouncing mario... when I have time. Off to maths class for me now.

Edit: it's about 10Hz, but I'll work it out more accurately later.

I did it... but wasn't able to make it to the second goomba before he fell off the ledge.

[Office_Shredder]

I got it twice out of some 300 times...

You can only hit the goomba three times if the first time is in the air, right?

[insignifiGant]

as far as I know, that's the case.

edit - 4.2 mill

[Office_Shredder]

4818800

[Johnny Chimpo]

1) Bounce on goomba under block.
2) Hold up arrow key.
3) Minimize window.
4) Go have lunch.

I'm guessing the score will loop at 2.4B or so, but that may take awhile.

[Office_Shredder]

why would the score loop?

[xerent]

Something to do with the type of integer limitations in flash.

I'm guessing around 2.4 Bil is a 32-bit humber.

[thrdflrmshr]

This is without using the bounce bug.

http://img11.imageshack.us/my.php?loc=img11&image=mariohighscore.JPG

[Johnny Chimpo]

Not sure how flash stores integers. In C, C++, Java, etc. an integer can't store more than (2 * 10^31) or 2147483647 because that's the largest number you can represent using 32 bits (signed).

So, you either loop to -2147483647, or 0. Flash might handle ints differently though, I really don't know.

[Asmodeus]

insignificant you play counter strike? i'll have to hook up with you sometime my name is [H$C]|ASm0d3u$ i usually play cs_siege or de_dust 2 and 1 we have our clan server rock and rolling oh and 5 mil

[insignifiGant]

yeah...

I play as [Z/T] insignifiGant

haven't played too much with the most recent update... I was the fast switch master. Now I can't poop to save my life. It has given me a chance to get better with ak/colt though.

bring back fast switch!! ahhh!!!

oh... 15.5 million.

edit - oh yeah... I play on utah servers mostly... VS is really fast... good server...

md was fun but kinda laggy until it went down. those are the servers where I play real cs... I play custom maps sometimes...

24/7 iceworld/scoutz servers... and yeah...

[thrdflrmshr]

[Bottle]

36 million

[Asmodeus]

27 mil

[xerent]

Just passed 100 Billion.

[Office_Shredder]

nice.... shouldn't you be working on how to fix that though?

[xerent]

No-one is paying me too. ^^. I made the program to have a little fun, so I'll be damned if I'm not going to have a little fun with it.

[Aro23r]

Well, here is a new game. How about trying to see the highest score you can get while there is still time on the clock. Here is my highest score with time still on the clock.

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/1036/mario.JPG

[insignifiGant]

eh...

currently at
47.3 million

and xe is such a poor liar... but it's cute when she tries.

[S_K_O_F]

well...ive let it run for about 7 straight hours now...

here is a quick screenie



http://www.sbuniv.edu/~sarndt/MARIOXE.JPG

im gonna let it go all night long to see how hi it will go
42000000in 7 hours, it should be around 130,000,000 when i get back to work in the morning tomorrow...ill post another screenie then

[xerent]

you think so, but all it takes is just a minor adjustment of one variable, and 10 seconds of playing to achieve that score.

Yes, but you lost a life. :p

true... but.. but... no fair!

update 53.8 mill

[ReNeGAdE]

*ahem*...
just broke 800 million, been running for prolly over 24 hours now. id like to stop soon so i can use my comp for oter things... gonna keep going till i hit 1 billion. cant touch this.

[Bottle]

I doubt it. Mario oscillates at about 15 Hz, or 15 cycles per second, gaining 1500 points per second, or 90,000 per minute, or 5,400,000 per hour, which is 129,600,000 in 24 hours. There's no way you have 800,000,000; maybe you have 80,000,000.

[BlackSyphon]

how come I can't cheat?:confused: Xerent, are you IP tracking me too?

du;)

[ReNeGAdE]

ahem those calculations would normally work, but not since i got him on the side of the brick, and for some reason the game registers the corner or an angle off the corner as different and bounces him quite a bit faster. Hes pretty much a blur for me. Ill have my screeny of 1 billion pretty soon, just gotta leave it running a little while longer...

[thrdflrmshr]

70 million

[Asmodeus]

I cant get past the bridge?
Xerent i cant get past those last blocks i cant jump that far...wtf?

[ReNeGAdE]

the game is not finished yet man...

[Aro23r]

SKOF, how do you lose a life? You have 2 lives in all your screenshots. If I fall down, nothing happens, i just keep falling, and no lives are lost. How did you manage to get 2 lives remaining?

[drakonfire]

aro, let one of the critters hit u and u'll lose a life

[thrdflrmshr]

85.3 million

[ReNeGAdE]

http://www.photodump.com/direct/Ren_Graphics/mariopwnage.jpg


ill be here all week bitches and gentlemen...

[thrdflrmshr]

That's pretty crazy that you got it to score that much faster. Still going the conventional way, I have 150 million.

[ReNeGAdE]

try to get it on the corner as shown in the pic.... its so funny to watch him turn into a blur... lol

[S_K_O_F]

damn you guys


i let mine go for 24 hours and all i got is 146,000,000

http://www.sbuniv.edu/~sarndt/MARIOXE.JPG

[Johnny Chimpo]

I can't believe you people are still doing this. Seriously. In 24 hours I could have yoinked the images, written my own version of the game, and made it so jumping on the guy once gives you 30 billion points.

This is great evidence of why every online game will make money regardless of how good it is; as long as people think they can one-up each other they'll do pretty much anything, no matter how pointless, repetitive, or retarded. :D

[xyxaxyz2]

And have fun in the process.:cool:

[xerent]

For a $2.50 monthly fee, scores in excess of 1.5 billion will be achieveable, and also grants additional enemies to be stomped on, and unlocks the Luigi character. :D

lol

JC is right...how lame are we?

[thrdflrmshr]

Lame or not, I've kept this thing going for a long time.

191 million

[ReNeGAdE]

mine froze.

[Tama Drummer]

I accidentaly closed it yesterday, and never bothered to open it up again.

[abyaly]

i think i will leave mine running for a few weeks yet..

[Asmodeus]

My mom closed it because it was taking up "energy" but yet she didn't turn off the computer

[Office_Shredder]

Lmao.

Aren't technology dorks funny?

I'm gonna shoot for 10 billion.... I'll keep my comp open for a year.

[thrdflrmshr]

Is anyone still going?

222,210,000

[Elentari]

Either I'm doing this game wrong, or you guys are just weird. I can barely get over there in time to kill the second guy, to catch him under the block is nigh impossible...

[thrdflrmshr]

Don't even bother with the first enemy. It'll take a couple tries to get under the block and stay there, but you'll eventually do it.

[Elentari]

What I want to know is, how many times did it take you all to get it right?

[thrdflrmshr]

Three or four.

[S_K_O_F]

each time i do it it takes me three or four times

[Elentari]

huh... well, I have yet to try 3 or 4 consecutive times so...

[thrdflrmshr]

I've only done it once, but I didn't try after the first time I did it. Still going strong at 225,430,000

[Office_Shredder]

elentari, have you considered not killing the first guy?

I'm up to 80 million now, but I expect the game to run at least through tonight, so we'll see where I end up

[_B0b_]

Its actually really easy to get hi8m under the blocks everytime. You can squish the first guy while he is falling, then wait on the first block for the other one to go back under the blocks, then you can jump on him and let it wait, if you want you can try to get him on the corner, but I did that and it didn't go any faster for me... oh well.

I got up to 62 million then I quit. It was really slowing down my computer for some reason. But another thing could be to get to the end of the map the fastest to sit on top of the last pipe crouched down, after getting the first two guys of course.
I got 3614, although I guess that that will be quite easy to beat.

[thrdflrmshr]

Mine's been running since I first saw this thread a couple days ago. I'm at 292.7 million.

[Office_Shredder]

I'm up to 146 million.... been running it for almost 24 hours.... I'll catch you yet third floor!

[thrdflrmshr]

Well, I stopped at 303 million. It got pointless.

[Office_Shredder]

I'm gonna catch you.... already at 155233400

and I won't let up!

[thrdflrmshr]

Yeah, it was running for some time, something like 72 hours. I got bored. It made me realize just how huge one billion really is.

[h()()t]

mine ran for like 72 secounds.

awww man i aht ethis can't post after 30 secounds.

[Office_Shredder]

third floor, it should only take me two days to get what you did in three.... you must have a slower computer or something? :confused:

[h()()t]

there must be a flaw in his computer.:D

[insignifiGant]

you gonna update this any time soon?

I want more! ^_^

[thrdflrmshr]

It was a bad estimate. I had 300 million.

[xerent]

Updated slightly. Still no mario death check, and no goal, but the infinite score bug has been fixed, and level 1 has been coded. Time has been reduced to 1200

http://www.studioxe.com/mario.swf

[paulk6]

Whoa :eek: That's a lot more Mario. Cool :)

[drakonfire]

good stuff xerent... that unlimited falls is... interesting, lol... maybe u could loop it for now? so he just falls through the top of the level? until u get the death check implemented? just a suggestion

[MokoToko]

in the beginning if u jump on the guy u can hop over the side wall....just letting you know

Good job so far it looks great

[Hydrant]

wow I am so bad at this game

but it is SOO addictive

[+He 4th 4sight]

I got 400 but I didnot screenie it cause they have already gotten way passed 400...

[paulk6]

Oh my god!! I actually died!! I didn't fall down the hole, I actulally died!!

[h()()t]

ya know that one lvl is getting boring.

[xyxaxyz2]

How?

[xerent]

There is a death animation that plays when mario dies. Currently, the only way for mario to die is for an enemy to fall on him, which is only possible if your run to the right quickly after the game starts. The game will pause, the death animation will play, life count will go down one, and the game will resume...
