Hi, everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before, I couldn't find it anywhere! Then again, I'm not sure how to formulate this correctly, but I'll try. (Sorry for all the backstory, hope it isn't too long!)
I recently (2 days ago?) started using gamemaker, and did the tutorials on the website to recreate asteroids. That worked fine, but I wanted to personalize it, without ruining the original version. I wanted to change the score, speed, et cetera, so I thought I'd just make a copy of it. I tried going to my documents and copy-pasting the files into the documents folder, but nothing seemed to be happening, so I thought I'd just start up gamemaker again, and it wouldn't start.
I copied the project files to my normal folder and then had to uninstall and reinstall GM to make it work again. I managed to open the files using the 'Open' feature (after launching gamemaker, at the top, not just clicking the file). I also managed to copy and paste the GM projects correctly (in the right folder) this time.
Does anyone know why it broke the first time? As far as I know, it never actually pasted anything. I didn't find copies of the files. Nothing changed when I tried to paste. So why did GM break?
(I hope that I was clear enough!)
