我提前提醒你，我不太懂中文，所以我问你，如果可以的话，用俄文或英文写在这里。中文也可以，我会通过翻译了解的。

Please somebody help me to translate the description into Chinese accurately

Hello everybody!

This is my modern SMBX-compatible game engine which is a result of an effort to port the original SMBX's source code from VB6 into C++ (Here you may find details of the porting process (in Russian): https://habr.com/ru/post/582566/). It's the first engine that is standalone, has very accurate compatibility with original SMBX without depending on the original executable since foundation, cross-platform (doesn't depends on Windows and doesn't depends on x86 CPU architecture). This engine is not just for playing SMBX 1.3: it has more unique features and gets actively extended to receive more new features.

I will keep it as a functional and powerful (and at the same time, resource-cheap) engine with keeping the full SMBX 1.3 compatibility (including the ability to re-enable all past bugs required to play certain levels/episodes).

Moondust Engine (the counterpart of the main project) will be focused on the development of brand-new games without looking at past bugs of SMBX.

Current stable version is 1.3.6
Current in-development version is 1.3.6.1-dev / 1.3.7-dev

大致翻了一下，如果有问题或疏漏欢迎指正：

大家好！
这是我做出的现代的兼容SMBX的游戏引擎，它是我努力将SMBX的源码从VB6移植到C++的成果（你可以在这里找到用俄语写下的移植的详细过程：https://habr.com/ru/post/582566/）。这是第一款独立引擎，它对原版SMBX具有相当精确的兼容性，不依赖原有的EXE文件，并且还支持跨平台（并不依赖于 Windows 系统，也不依赖于 x86 CPU体系结构）。这个引擎不仅仅只是用来更好地游玩 SMBX 1.3 版本的——它有更多独特的新功能，并且以后也会积极地不断扩展、获得更多的新功能。

我会在完全兼容 SMBX 1.3 （亦可以恢复过去在 1.3 上的所有需要的 bug，来游玩一些特定的关卡或地图）的基础上让它保持功能性与强大性（当然，还有节省资源的性能）为一体的引擎。

月尘引擎（主项目的对应者）则将会致力于发展全新的游戏，不将过去 SMBX 的 bug 考虑在内。

目前的最新稳定版为 1.3.6
目前的最新开发版为 1.3.6.1-dev / 1.3.7-dev

Hi, Wohlstand, I'm so glad you to meet you come here!

Unreal_Neo , thanks 🙂

Marchtinal

Thanks for developing such a functional project. 😄

TheXTech is a useful project for all SMBX players.
Maybe it is developed with a better method and we are going to figure it a great engine for starting to play episodes.

俄狐

Larry_C, speaking about the development method, there are next cases making it different from other SMBX branches:

All source code is open (SMBX-38A code is closed, X2 is locked on the blob in a form of Redigit's SMBX 1.3 binary, also, X2 uses the cathedral model, i.e. releases only get published source code. This model is opposed to the bazaar model where in-development source code is always available for public).
All code is fully portable, i.e. is possible to build the working engine from the scratch for the new machine (including ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, RISC-V, Elbrus, etc.). SMBX-38A is locked on VB6 which is Windows and X86 only, X2 contains multiple parts that are impossible to compile from the source in the same compatible form (the same blob and all code depend on it).
While the core part I built by myself, I have co-developers and random contributors who make their updates and develop major parts that get taken into the main branch. 5438A38A works lonely because of closed source. X2 has a team too.
All in-development builds were available for everyone, this allows random volunteers to get the freshest build and test out its new features. This allows us to get people's reviews before the next release will out, and we know what we shall to improve in the future. Mainly, people do have a huge variation of hardware, and this also allows to find and fix tricky bugs that can't be reproduced locally.
I do use C++ language as it's the most widely used language which allows compiling compact and native builds for the huge variation of platforms. But, using the language doesn't mean the software will be always quick and lightweight, developers should maintain algorithm optimizations and look at memory usage to make code work quicker and keep memory usage rationally. Since I made the TheXTech port, I and my co-developers did several optimizations of the code to improve the performance and stability.

TheXTech v1.3.6: LunaDLL scripts, better controller support, etc.

We worked on this update long and hard, and now we're ready to present a bunch of new features and fixes!

Note 1: To make use of TheXTech's full potential while designing new levels, the special Moondust Devkit configuration package is recommended (the latest laboratory Moondust Devkit is required until the next stable devkit version 0.4.3.1/0.4.4 release).

Note 2: In order to gain access to all the new features, you should upgrade your assets package. Old ones will remain functional but do not contain the additions needed for features like new sound effects, the built-in editor, additional meta-signs, etc.

Note 3: Some options of the compat.ini file were renamed in order to get rid of references to proprietary content. We highly recommend renaming these fields at your episodes as soon as possible. (Details at the wiki)

Most important changes

The controllers' support has been reworked and improved: multiple profiles, more than one button/axes assigned to the same button, editable hotkeys, intuitive controller assignment between players on cooperative/battle games, and the touchscreen controller's general improvement (users can now tweak the touchscreen controller's layout for their convenience). The touchscreen controller now also works on any non-Android platforms (including Windows and Linux devices that feature a touchscreen).
Added real-time per-section SPC-like echo and reverb effects which can be used by episode creators to improve the atmosphere on their levels.
Added experimental built-in Editor, made for working on levels and episodes on mobile devices and consoles. Can be used on desktop platforms as well.
Introducing native support for LunaDLL Autocode (LunaScript) via the memory emulator, allowing you to play more old episodes on TheXTech even on non-x86 processors. Episodes and packed games (such as A2XT, Episode 1: Analog Funk) now officially work on the TheXTech engine.
Introducing the quad-tree optimisation for blocks which resolves a very old performance problem caused by horizontal layer motion.

Added an ability to set a different path for the user directory by command line argument (@Wohlstand)
Blocked an ability to start the game with no episodes or battle levels available in the list and prevented several issues with this (@Wohlstand)

Added the ability to have multiple intro levels per assets pack (if the introset directory exists and it contains at least one level file, they will be selected randomly every time when the main menu opens) (@Wohlstand)
Added game selection menu into Android launcher: every browsed assets directory will be remembered and can be accessed quickly using the new menu (@Wohlstand)
Added the individual sound for Ludwig von Koopa's death (@Wohlstand)
Added the individual sound for Larry Koopa's death and shell spinning after stomp (@Wohlstand)
Fixed an improper new (when specific compatibility option is not disabled) behaviour of the Skull Raft when the head segment impacts a wall but loses a floor at the same time, causing the following segments to suspend forever (@Wohlstand)
Fixed the issue of a possible fall through the floor if walking point-blank to a block that had an extracted bonus and another solid block placed under it (does not happen if the "fix-player-downward-clip" option was disabled) (https://github.com/Wohlstand/TheXTech/issues/401) (@Wohlstand)
Removed the "require-ground-to-enter-warps" compat.ini option as redundant: there is the native option of LVLX and 38A-LVL level formats to enable this behaviour. (@Wohlstand)
Some options of the compat.ini have been renamed (for backward compatibility, there are aliases kept for now) (@Wohlstand)
Added the individual sound for Link's iceball shoot (@Wohlstand)
