Super Mario in C

This project implements a simplified version of Super Mario written entirely in C, without any third-party rendering engines.

To compile and run this program, you will need the following:

• DOSBox: An emulator for legacy DOS programs.
• Turbo C: This is required for compilation and is already included in the project under the TC folder.

Follow these steps to compile and run the game within DOSBox:

1. Install DOSBox on your system.

2. Mount the project directory: Open DOSBox and mount the root folder of this project as your C: drive. Replace /path/to/project with your actual file path:

   mount C: /path/to/project
   

3. Navigate to the project folder: Switch to the C: drive and enter the GDC directory:

   C:
   cd C:/GDC
   

4. Compile the code: Run the included batch file to compile the project:

   compile.bat
   

5. Launch the game:

   GDC.EXE
   

Because this runs in a DOS emulator, you will need to adjust the performance settings for the game to run smoothly:

• Adjust CPU Cycles: Once the game is running, use Ctrl+F12 (to increase) and Ctrl+F11 (to decrease) to adjust the DOSBox CPU cycles to approximately 20,000.
• Loading Time: Please be patient! It will take about 30 seconds for the game to fully load.
