A Mario game that is that is written in Java with the use of the libGDX framework and the Android Studio IDE.
- Git (if you want to clone the repository)
- Java SDK 11
- Gradle 7.3.1 or higher
- (For Android/Android Studio emulator) Android SDK 34 to prevent glitches and other issues, but if Android SDK 34 is not available then anything higher than Android SDK 16 should work

This project would've been almost impossible to make without Brent Aureli's tutorial
Brent Aureli's Mario tutorial, although a slightly outdated tutorial at the time, helped in providing the idea for the base layout of the game. It also provided a decent amount of information on how libGDX works. Big thanks once again to Brent Aureli for providing this tutorial.
Rest of the resources that have been a massive help in creating this project:
- libGDX (along with its documentation), a Java game development framework for providing rapid prototyping and fast iterations.
- Tiled, a tool that allows for the creation and editing of tiled maps.
- The Spriters Resource, a website containing large amounts of video game sprites
- ChatGPT, a generative chatbot that helped massively in giving ideas and debugging errors in the making of this project.
