30th August, 2024.
I've begun messing about in GameMaker and I am NOT certain I'm doing the right thing.
Things I've discovered:
- There's no way to share the GameMaker screen with anything else. So having anything multi-taskish has to happen on a different monitor
- The program crashes if I manipulate too many tiles, so saving often is essential
- Taking a screenie of this thing is an exercise in frustration
BUT I managed to make a prototype nine-square game field.
Be warned - this image is as big as my monitor.
