UPDATE JUNE 18 2018

Wow this is taking a while. Unfortunately for me, I can't let things go and I'm still trying to get at least 'something' finished.

PTCUtilities is 'usable' for now, which means I've been able to add physics, finish the graphics for the first version, and I'm slowly improving the editor controls to be easier to use. The good news is that so far, it seems to be running at ~60FPS in-game. My main problem with the existing version of Mario Maker PTC is that scrolling was slow and dropped the framerate, so I'm trying to optimize my version against choppy gameplay.

List of finished things:
 * Basic editor functionality
 * Basic physics
 * Graphics

List of work-in-progress things:
 * Enemies/AI
 * "Special" interactions (Hitting ? Blocks, collecting coins etc.)
 * BG Scrolling: Functional but still slightly broken.

List of things to look at later:
 * Sound/Music
 * Extra styles (not actually hard to create, but time-devouring)
