    Draw_text

    I am trying to draw text from a variable to the room in my game. It isn't showing up but I have the depth above all other items. It used to work until I used draw_self() so it stayed in the same position for my side scroller. Since then I have tried all sort but I can't see it. And of course it...

    Graphics Generals And Conquest Sprites

    So I finally decided I would give animated sprites a chance in Gimp2. I don't know how to quite implement what I visualize in my mind, so they are likely awkward, but I think would be fun for a hack and slash. I am using a wireframe to plot out the movements, then layering on mass. I want to...
