==================================== MarioMaker - AS3 Sidescroller Engine

This is a tile-based engine written in Actionscript 3. It is written to be easily customizable and extendable.

============== Current Status

Pre-Alpha: Currently being developed. Feel free to join in and help out!

======== Features

MarioMaker is being written to create substantial, middle-weight games. It features:

• Object-Oriented engine for easy modifications and additions
• Graphics caching for fast loading
• Visual editor for creating levels
• Working demo of a Mario clone

===== To-Do

• Write documentation for the engine (VERY IMPORTANT!)
• Make sure public interface is easy to use...some parts need to much digging into
• more accurate collision detection
• add a frame counter to test performance
• bigger window
• multidirectional scrolling

========================== Rudimentary File Structure

Character.as: the player's character Scene.as: creates each scene/level Tile.as: basic functions for each tile. Other tiles (CoinBlock.as, Goomba.as) inherit from this. config.xml: tile configuration main.as: runs the game
