Long description

This is a direct continuation of the SMBX 1.3 engine. Originally it was written in VB6 for Windows, and later, it got ported/rewritten into C++ and became a cross-platform engine. It completely reproduces the old SMBX 1.3 engine (aside from its Editor), includes many of its logical bugs (critical bugs that lead the game to crash or freeze got fixed), and also adds a lot of new updates and features.

[ds-sloth]

Co-lead developer of the engine (and 3DS maintainer) here, happy to answer any questions.

Wiki: https://github.com/TheXTech/TheXTech/wiki
Website: http://wohlsoft.ru/projects/TheXTech/
Creation date: this dates back to https://github.com/ds-sloth/TheXTech3DS/ from May 2021, but the 3DS port has been mainline since Dec 2022.
Update date: at least one commit a week (for instance, both of us checked in changes today).

Notes on the version: this is off our main branch which is moderately unstable. I'm currently preparing for our 1.3.7 release freeze which will start with a beta, but there are still two minor features to go, and plenty of bug-testing. Trickiy has been very helpful in finding bugs on 3DS, and as long as Universal-DB users are aware that this is alpha-quality, I will really appreciate their help also.

Our current stable release doesn't support the 3DS's native resolution, so I can't recommend it, but eventually I would like to offer separate stable and dev branches on Universal-DB.
