This project implements a simplified version of Super Mario in pure C without any additional graphics library.
For details of the implementation, please refer to my blog. There is also a Chinese but less detailed version here.

A very short video of the game is here.
To compile and run:
- Download and install DOSBox
-
Mount the root folder of this project as C: in DOSBox
mount C: /path/to/project -
Change to drive C:

GDC.EXE -

Enjoy!
