GML Minigame window

[stevenplus]

Hi beginner programmer here,

I have an idea on making a game where you complete a task by playing minigame.
But I have no idea how to create a minigame window inside my main game like how can I implement this, what method can I use.

My idea look something like this:


Is it possible for me to create a room with the minigame and call it into my main level or do I have to draw it with the Draw function?
Thanks.

Draw it. Or have the game in a distant part of the room and use a camera to hide it from the player until ready.

I think it should work the same as showing an inventory or pause menu etc.
i.e. disabling any interaction with the main game and using a combination of drawing and creating (then afterwards destroying) any objects needed for the minigame.
Also this sounds inspired by Among Us
