been away for awhile

Hi, I've been absent from this game for a long time now, but I'm interested in returning to it. seems like a lot has changed though, like, SMBX2? which is the preferred version for making levels/episodes? original or 2? what is Lunalua? In the interest of not combing through the entire forum to get a read on the current vibes, I'm mostly just curious; what's up?

which is the preferred version for making levels/episodes? original or 2?

most people (myself included) would concur that 2.0 is preferable to 1.3. it's pretty much the exact same game, retaining all of the legacy features and backwards compatibility, with many new additions. there's also SMBX-38A, which is considered a decent alternative, but is not cross-compatible and uses a different physics engine, among several other differences in features and content.

what is Lunalua?

an API which lets you inject custom code into SMBX levels/episodes. read more about it here.
