Enjoy!

Hi

Thank you for releasing the source code. There is no need to put .class files into the repository. Of course, as usual, I don’t advise you to use copyrighted contents without the prior consent of the copyright owners even for non commercial projects, rather use free artworks under open licences or create your own ones.

I’ve bought the full metroid fusion sprites from Nintendo BTW.
I will try to use as much open artwork as I can. The Samus (player character) graphics for example is copyrighted so you can play my game with it but unfortunately I cannot pay for all of you. The dimensions of the graphics files are however set in their respective filenames, e.g. player-left-40x40-1.png, see the pics/ directory.

Thanks for commenting.

No you didn’t. You are either lying or don’t understand the copyright system. Exactly what license do you think the sprites are licensed to you under and through what process did you get them?

Yes I did.
You send some emails, pay for it and that’s it. Nobody can use the pics except me but you may play the game.

Midi music is in with 1 song for level1XXX and there’s gateway and level changing support.

Here is the latest tarball :

Just because you bought the art doesn’t mean you can reproduce it for profit…it’s like those candy bars that say “not labeled for individual sale”
Unless they SPECIFICALLY told you you could reuse it in your own product/resell it, you pretty much can’t.

Oh gosh, I needed a good laugh. Thanks man.
