Super mario bros with C/SDL

I picked up C and dived into the world of 2D game development using the SDL library. For practice, I decided to create a simple clone of Super Mario Bros The goal was less about crafting a masterpiece and more about improving my coding skills and getting a taste of game development.

SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) is a powerful cross-platform development library written in C. It provides low-level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, and display functionalities, making it a popular choice for game developers and multimedia applications. In the context of my project, leveraging SDL allowed me to efficiently handle 2D graphics and user input, offering a solid foundation for building a Super Mario Bros clone. The simplicity and versatility of SDL, combined with the procedural nature of C, provided a practical environment for me to learn the fundamentals of game development.

Screenshots from my Super Mario Bros clone. It includes different scenes in the game, the main menu and the credits.

The game included a few levels as well as mushrooms, traps, music and sound effects.

Make sure you check out the source code on Github. It is only the second project I have created on Github https://github.com/Drabble/SuperMario.
