Meet TheXTech: a full working cross-platform port of SMBX engine [1.3.3.1]

I found a message block sound bug:

If event was filled message, press "Jump" button still plays message sound after message disappeared......

I can't test this yet, however, I took this into GitHub: https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/issues/23

I guess, hat because the jump button is same as "OK" that quits the message box, and because the key was held in a specific moment, the result is similar. I need to check until to confirm.

I have been using TheXTech for a long time and to be honest it is a really interesting alternative to SMBX Vanilla. TheXTech is faster (i.e. loads the content on the screen faster and makes it run in more FPS) and also has no lag even when there are a lot of NPCs on the screen. I would also like to add that I think, but I don't know if it really is, the character is more controllable and does not seem to "float" on the screen. The downside is that there is no editor here, but it is compatible with PGE. Bottom line: TheXTech is now my new tool for playing SMBX episodes.
