Infinite Tux is a 2D platformer game based on the source code of Infinite Mario. It's a side scrolling platformer like SuperTux, taking more inspiration from its NES inspiration, with the added gimmick of procedurally generated levels every playthrough.
While the source code of the original Infinite Mario was released as libre, the assets could not due to being copyrighted by Nintendo. As such, all of the original Nintendo assets have been replaced with libre assets.
Origin[edit]
The game was originally written and released by Markus Persson(Notch) of Mojang as Infinite Mario Bros using Nintendo assets. Notch released the source code as public domain with a note stating that someone should replace the assets with libre assets.
Below is an excerpt.
Readme for Infinite Mario Bros 10:47 AM 12/25/2006
I stopped working on this project for three reasons;
- I had to focus on my main project. This was just a fun side project.
- I didn't feel comfortable abusing copyrighted material for non-personal use, and neither should you.
- The competition this was an entry for ended.
I'm releasing the source code for this project since I've gotten quite a bit of email with really good suggestions on how to make this better, but I don't have the time to implement them myself.
The code (/src/) is released as public domain, so you can do with it what you wish. The art (/res/) is still copyright nintendo, so it's almost certainly NOT ok to do anything at all with it. Ask nintendo.
And, please, if you're going to make a bigger project out of this, please consider replacing the art with legal art.
Since this note, all of the Nintendo assets were replaced with CC and GPL assets and and thus Infinite Tux was born.
