Anyone want to help me with a Commander Keen engine?

HTV04Created:
I would like to make a Commander Keen engine for SmileBASIC 4, but I don’t know how to really work with sprites or collision as well as make maps the way Commander Keen has them. Would anyone like to help me form a team to make this engine? And of course it wouldn’t be like the horrendous mobile game coming out later this year

what the heck is commander keen?

The Commander Keen Video Game Series may have used Adaptive Tile Refresh for their video games, a bit like Super Mario Bros. 3 & other NES Games. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwRqWnW5ZkVaP_lZF7caZ-g A column is made for each tiles in the Y axis so the tiles are refreshed to show further map data.

Just curious, which version are you aiming for? Invasion on the Vorticons or Goodbye Galaxy Also, the code at: https://sourceforge.net/projects/clonekeenplus/ might be useful. Invasion of the vorticons is probably an easier target.

Definitely Goodbye Galaxy. While the Invasion on the Vorticons engine might be easier to work on, it was lacking a lot of detail. The real highlight of the series was the Goodbye Galaxy engine.
