    Super Mario Bros. in Javascript

    Now THAT is impressive. It's 100% javascript, apparently even the graphics are all rendered via Javascript's drawing classes.

    Nice. I found another Mario game a couple days ago.

    http://www.mojang.com/notch/mario/ - It's a Mario game with randomly generated levels. Fun, if a bit monotonous. Also, watch out for flying spinies...

    Maybe it's my browser, but that was painfully slow. You're better off using that NES emulator written in Java. I wasn't impressed at all. It wasn't accurate at all.

    Yeah, the controls just felt insanely slippery and it seemed like it took a full second to redraw the screen whenever anything changed, I was afraid it would give me a seizure @_@

    Not only that, but it's just the first level. It's more like a tech demo than it is something you can actually play. I do understand that it's most likely incomplete, but still.

    It's a cute attempt (Because SMB hasn't been made in a Flash/Java version 80 billion times), but as Mott said, there's no reason not to just use an emulator.

    I think the point of the demo is it's written completely in javascript. It's not meant to be a clone. It's just a developer's attempt to prove an entire game, graphics, sound and all, can be written from scratch in javascript.

    *shrug*

    I hope whoever made this keeps working on it.

    Exactly, I don't know why you would care that it's not perfect. It's not meant to be played so much as it's meant to show that it can be done.

    Honestly, it's just impressive they were able to achieve this using javascript.

    I guess, but I can't stop seeing it as, wow that's an impressively large TURD. I didn't know you could make a turd that large in Javascript.
