PIPEMAN GAMMA is a Mario platformer engine created by RetroX. PIPEMAN GAMMA is an acronym that stands for "PIxel PErfect MArio eNgine for GAMe MAker."

Introduction

PIPEMAN GAMMA was created as an engine RetroX made due to the fact that most engines created by other users are created in such a way that it is very difficult to read the code in these engines and edit them for use in original fangames. It is being made to compliment the GML Tutorial RetroX has already created. While other tutorials (and RetroX's GML tutorial) simply teach the basics of coding, a full documentation will be included with this engine explaining exactly how it was made and why it works. The goal of this engine is to help promote original fangames.
