In the history of computer games some games have created and carried whole companies on their shoulders. One of those games is certainly Mario Bros. The Mario character first appeared in the game Donkey Kong and became very famous within its own game series starting with the original Mario Bros. in 1983. Nowadays a lot of spin-offs and 3D jump and runs are being produced centering the Mario character. In this article we will develop a very simple Super Mario clone, which is easily extendible with new items, enemies, heros and of course levels.
The code of the game itself will be written in object oriented JavaScript. Now that sounds like a trap since JavaScript is a prototype based scripting language, however, there are multiple object oriented like patterns possible. We will investigate some code which will give us some object oriented constraints. This will be very useful to stay in the same pattern through the whole coding.
