i ADDED TWO LINKS:

 play it online HIGH RESOLUTION


 The disk image HIGH RESOLUTION.  This is a ZIPped DSK image.  Use WINzip to decompress


pROBLEMS:  (LEAVE APPLEWIN FIRST AND TURN OFF CAPS LOCK)......

1)Mario flickers.  I know why, and I haven't got to fixing it yet.
2)mario doesn't always run into bricks.  I know why
3)mario runs through bricks when scrolling.  I know why
4)scrolling is slow.  The whole screen is being scrolled.

other things I have almost done that I won't share YET:
enemies are animated!  Power up mushrooms come out when
mario bumps his head on them.  Up to 32 animations on 
screen at once (not including mario).  This would slow
it WAY down, and I've only tested it with 6 at a time.

I still haven't made mario physically bigger when he
eats mushrooms.  This will add some more complex logic
to the collision detection (big mario is two bricks
high, little mario is one brick)

The intro screen ROCKS.  Every graphic has been copied
from the Super Mario Brothers NES ROM.  I had to cut
a pixel out of each (NES uses 8X8 tiles, the apple II
works WAY better with 7X7 tiles), and convert them
to black and white.
