About TheXTech

This is a game engine for platforming games. This is a complete and extended port of source code of the SMBX 1.3 game engine originally writtein in MS Visual Basic 6, and its direct unofficial continuation after development of original halted in the 2011th year. This engine preserves full compatibility with levels and episodes made for the original SMBX game, including its repacks. And it's allowed to create brand-new Levels, Episodes, and content packs. Unlike the original SMBX game that depends on Windows and x86, TheXTech can work on many operating systems (including Linux distros, macOS, xBSD, Android, Haiku, etc.) and processor architectures (including x86_64, ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, etc.).

**NOTE:** This is a runtime engine only. It requires game packages to be downloaded and unpacked properly. Please follow this instruction in order to get any game work:

Release info Update on Oct 18, 2026
Release notes When this update was supposed to be a small hotfix that fixes two small but annoying bugs, it also introduces the ability to use several graphics without cropping to original sizes. For example, BGO, some effects, terrain cells at the world map, scenery objects, and level points, now can have any size as big as you want. This only will work for levels and episodes are made for TheXTech. When playing episodes saved with old formats, they will have exactly same limits as before this update. However, objects of custom ranges will be expandable with no matter of the level or episode format.
