TheXTech
TheXTech - it's a platform game engine written in C++, is a full port of source code of SMBX 1.3 which was originally written in Visual Basic 6. Created by Wohlstand after one month since original SMBX source code was been released for two purposes: providing a free and open-source, cross-platform and accurate implementation of the SMBX Engine to allow playing of old levels and episodes, created for an original game, with the same behavior as the original game had; get a more convenient research model for a PGE Engine development.
Important resources
SDL Mixer X
SDL Mixer X - the audio library, a fork from SDL Mixer version 2.0 made by Wohlstand. Used in PGE Project, in LunaLUA, and in SMBX-38a.

- The PGE Standard is the default standard of PGE. Based on the SMBX64 standard, it boasts numerous bug fixes and enhanced flexibility over the original.
- Research
Vanilla SMBX Engine resources
These documents contain information researched against the vanilla Super Mario Bros. X engine and are necessary in order for implementing a level interpreter that supports and is compatible with, a significant amount of existing levels and episodes.
