What is "TMNT Engine"?

TMNT Engine is a project that I, Jason Orme, have been working on to recreate Konami's 1989 Classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Arcade game from scratch using ripped graphics and my own coding for a Windows system.

What can I do with it?

You can download the TMNT Test Engine and play it as you would any game, only its currently a work in progress and features that are in the original game may not yet be programmed.

Is it free?

Yes, TMNT Engine is free to be downloaded and played and will never be sold, as this would violate the copyright laws.

Why don't you just play the real arcade game or use emulators?

I still do play the arcade game, as I own the arcade machine, but I'm doing this to pay homage to the game and it has been somthing I've wanted to do for a long long time. Unlike emulators this allowes me to add my own material to the game, new characters, levels and possibilities.

Is it open-source?

Currently no open source has been released, plans to do so are still in the discussion stages.

I'm a great programmer, can I help?

Sorry no, I am doing this for myself, I'm enjoying doing it, but its also to test myself.

Is there anyway I can help?

I am looking for skilled sprite rippers for sprites, backgrounds aswell as testers to find out bugs/problems. If you think you can help or have other ways to help then please contact me.

Will you re-make (insert game name here)?

I do not wish to take on any other tasks right now, this one is difficult enough.

Are you going to remake the full game?

Everything will be coded, and the best way to know if everything works as it should is to make the game as it originally was, so in a way yes, this can be done.

What will you do once this project is complete?

Well, as some of you may know I also have www.jsofts.com/tmntsprites which is a collection of sprites ripped from the game to create a database, that will need completing. But once the engine is complete it leaves it open for me to create brand new TMNT Fan games using the same engine.

What else can you do with this engine?

The engine is the same used for most Konami games, from Turtles In Time to The Simpsons. Also see the bonus level included with V.0.7 and above for an example.

What program do you use?
