Mario Pipes & Editor Improvements | Coding a 2D Game Engine in Java #53

In this episode I go over how to code the logic for pipes in Mario. This involves creating a component that allows a pipe to "connect" to an exit pipe, and to mark different pipes as an entrance. I also go over improvements to the editor controls to create key bindings to move objects and manipulate z-indexes quickly.
