What is TheXTech?
TheXTech - is a platform game engine written in C++, is a full port of source code of SMBX 1.3 (Super Mario Bros. X fangame) which was originally written in Visual Basic 6. Created by Vitaliy Novichkov (known as "Wohlstand") after one month since the original SMBX source code was been released. It's an unofficial direct continuation of the original SMBX that balances between the accurate compatibility with the old content and the modern functionality to create new content using lots of new engine's features. This project is developed by its author together with his Moondust Project.
Comments and Reviews
This is basically Super Mario Bros. X, but it's free/libre/open source and has a native GNU+Linux port.
TheXTech is the engine for the "Super Mario Bros. X" game, it just named in a unique way, not just the "SMBX Engine", in the same manner as the "Id Tech" name for the Doom engine. Etymology: "The ~~Super Mario Bros.~~ X Tech". Just remove Nintendo's trademark, add "The" article at begin, add "Tech" at the end.
