Coding

Coding may refer to:Great! Here's a more advanced version of a Mario-style platformer game using Python + Pygame, including:

Multiple playable characters with different abilities

Character switching

Basic enemies and platforms

Simple gravity and jumping mechanics

Let me know if you'd like me to walk you through setting up Pygame or exporting this into a downloadable file.

Python Game Code (Pygame-based Platformer)

import pygame import sys

pygame.init() WIDTH, HEIGHT = 800, 600 screen = pygame.display.set_mode((WIDTH, HEIGHT)) pygame.display.set_caption("Multi-Character Platformer") clock = pygame.time.Clock()

Colors

WHITE = (255, 255, 255) SKY_BLUE = (135, 206, 235) BLACK = (0, 0, 0)

Platform

platforms = [pygame.Rect(0, HEIGHT - 40, WIDTH, 40), pygame.Rect(200, 450, 200, 20), pygame.Rect(500, 350, 200, 20)]

Player characters

class Character:

   def __init__(self, color, speed, jump_power):
       self.rect = pygame.Rect(100, HEIGHT - 150, 40, 60)
       self.color = color

Characters

characters = [

   Character((255, 0, 0), speed=5, jump_power=10),  # Red: Balanced
   Character((0, 255, 0), speed=7, jump_power=8),   # Green: Fast, low jump
   Character((0, 0, 255), speed=4, jump_power=12)   # Blue: Slow, high jump

] current_char = 0

def draw_platforms():

   for plat in platforms:
       pygame.draw.rect(screen, BLACK, plat)

Game loop

while True:

   screen.fill(SKY_BLUE)
   keys = pygame.key.get_pressed()

   for event in pygame.event.get():
       if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
           pygame.quit()
           sys.exit()
       elif event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
           if event.key == pygame.K_TAB:
               current_char = (current_char + 1) % len(characters)
               characters[current_char].rect.topleft = characters[(current_char - 1) % len(characters)].rect.topleft

   player = characters[current_char]
   player.move(keys)
   player.apply_gravity()

   draw_platforms()
   player.draw(screen)

   # Draw other characters (as ghosts)
   for i, c in enumerate(characters):
       if i != current_char:
           ghost = c.rect.copy()
           ghost.x, ghost.y = player.rect.x + (i - current_char) * 10, player.rect.y
           p
