The SMBX source code is finally open! Do with it as you please. Here's a quick Q&A for anticipated questions...
Q: What is this?
A: The source code for Super Mario Bros. X 1.3 legacy version.
Q: Is this legit?
A: Yes.
Q: Is this decompiled code?
A: No. This is the source code that was written.
Q: Can I build this?
A: Short answer is not really. Long answer is that SMBX was written in VB6 and Microsoft has long since ended support for the language. You will need to set up your own development environment to build the project.
Q: Is this going to be built upon by the SMBX2 team?
A: No. Doing so would disrupt development.
Q: What is the utility of releasing the source code?
A: The code can be used as a reference for posterity. SMBX until this point has had a closed source engine, and editor. The value of releasing the code as-is exists from SMBX's history, the benefits of software freedom, analysis, and to help SMBX move forward.
Q: How will this fit into the community?
A: This board will remain the same in terms of support for SMBX2. Discussion about the source code may be posted in this thread, or in other threads. That will be the extent of the code's role.
Q: What will be the overall impact?
A: Everything will be the same, except that SMBX's code is now free. The forums, and SMBX2's progression will follow the same path as if the code was still unavailable.

PSA: Don't even try to learn anything from this code when it comes to programming practices.

So people are making big hype in chat but it doesn't really have any use now?

Yeah not for anything with practical development. It's okay to sift through for reference and see what makes SMBX tick.

Would this be useful for rewriting the source code in C++, BTW?

Today, today is a good day.
EDIT:I was already thinking about taking up Visualbasic classes for a few months now with the release of this I think it confirmed my decision.

The devs clearly stated that it's not.
