This is a remake of a game I used to play for hours as a kid. The game was originally made by "Steve Bjork" and was released on the "Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer". 5 rows of 16 popcorn pieces fall randomly from the upper area of the screen that you must catch on the paddles you control with the mouse_x movement. The game starts with 6 paddles stacked above each other, if you fail to catch a popcorn and it goes off the screen, you lose a paddle. If you catch a complete row, the game increases speed ever so gradually. As you complete the 5 rows of popcorn catching, the board is redrawn and the game speed if further increased. There is no end to the game, it just get so fast that its nearly impossible to play.
I only have the game setup and it is currently not playable yet. I have the layout and the movement of the paddles. The paddles are centered to the mouse location.
I am not familiar with the new studio version of game maker so this is a learning experience, I had originally bought a GM7 license way back in 2008
and I see a ton has changed.

Here is a video of the original game from 1981 (Edit: this is not my video)
