possible.
1. no 3d. all made with panels, sprites, etc.
2. 3d. 'flat' thin level, camera looks on it from side, moves in one direction only - with your character 'from side to side'.

Yes it is... Look at ulis game.

How ... well thats up to you really. If you learn c-script then it will be fairly easy to realize how. I made a mario clone awhile back if I can find it ill post it here maybe it will give you an idea of where to begin... Mind you I never completed it and theres still a ton of bugs. I can tell you that I got my movement code from grimbers fps tutorial with a few minor changes it was easily adapted.

Ok found it. Just press ok to the missing wad... it should run fine with out it. I dont think I used anything thats not in the standard wad so you could just possibly replace it with that. I just had added a few extra textures to the standard wad and saved it as a new name.

As I said theres still alot of bugs esspeically in the jumping. Youll get stuck mid air and hover over blocks... There were a few post on how I could fix this just never did them as it wasnt a serious project anyways... More of a learning expeirence.

Mind you this was done all in one day so I really dont think its too bad concidering that. It might at least give you a starting point.

Heres the link...

well thats exactly what im doing is creating an up todate super mario game, like the side scroll versions, i have new ideas for the game, things nintendo should HAVE done with the game to make it even more fun. i have will better graphics, side scroll with a real 3d background and some other goodies i dont want to give away, if i can finish making this game i will post it for all to enjoy.

My guess is you have another camera script running. I used a pretty simple movement code for the camera.

I just set up the camera in wed and wrote down the cordinates. Then placed the .y and .z to the same coridinates then in a while loop set the camera to the players.x position.

I had planned a little more advanced camera movement but decided it wasnt really worth the effort.

As I said tho theres still a lot of bugs in the entire script. Jumping still has a lot of bugs as I stated earlier as does the enemy-player interaction..

Sometimes youll jump dead on the enemies head and still end up killing yourself... Other times the enemy will walk into you and die.

The dont go back thingy (cant think of a better term) can be easily tricked ect... So not sure you really want to try and just add my scripts to your project but rather use them as a starting point and build around them.

If your not good with scripting I suggest reading a few tutorials. The c-script workshop and grimbers FPS tutorial are what really got me started in scripting.I dont know much about scripting at all.. Basics really... but its been very usefull indeed.

Isn't the fighting game in resources a "sidescrolling" game? I think you can download it and learn alot from it.

Good luck
