I think my computer just went to sleep (running the sever from home).


The server connection runs as a separate thread.

Yes the game is still very basic and young. This is pretty much the only exposure I've given it. I wasn't really trying to make it into a nes mario-like game, I just used some of the mario sprites because i'm too lazy to draw my own.

I'm still thinking of what to make of it if I continue working on this. I was originally thinking of making it into more of an rpg/adventure game but maybe it would just be easier to turn it into a simple multiplayer platform fighter. Also, you ARE supposed to be able to jump on walls and stuff(where there are black pixels) but i guess it looks kinda weird. Thanks for the feedback.

This is just a demo.
Click here to start the game with java web start.
Arrow keys to move.
Use the separate gray chat window to talk if your connected to the server. Don't close it.
