The project is a good working replica of the side scrolling engine from the mario game (although it does support backscrolling but backscrolling can be easily disabled). To create your own game using this you need to change the platforms' costumes to make different stages. Also there is no bad guys and no way to win or die so you will have to make these your self. (or you could ask me to do it for you if you are having trouble) This can be used to create authentic mario style games and you will probably see some projects from me that use this engine sometime in the future.

Also though it's called perfect it really isn't perfect please feel free to tell me how to improve it.

Also keep in mind that the sidescrolling engine is missing many platforming elements. I will probally make a platforming engine later on.

Well do you think you can tell me ways that I could improve my engine?

well to tell the truth, im not really sure, but there seems to be alot of flashing in yours, maybe if you use more sprites? or put bars on the sides to keep the flashing from showing, mayhems starfighter game has pretty good scrolling, maybe you could use that?

I already fixed the flashing thing, perhaps it is not showing because your broswer cached it for you. Try downloading it.

I think it is good. Also if you wanted you could add scrolling up and down. Like this:

If <(x position) > (100)> then
-Set (sidemove y) to 1
else
-Set (sidemove y) to 0
end

Well it hard to explain though I think you get the idea archmage.

I could add vertical scrolling but it isn't necessary for most platformer games.
