Unusual use of app surface GMS2

[JeanSwamp]

Hello Game Makers,

I am trying to do something with surfaces and I am not entirely sure how to make it work, specially due to distorsion problems.

Basically I need to capture the whole screen into a surface, resize it and flip it a bit so the surface becomes displayed like such (Green being our fullscreen surface).



Is this even posible or am I trying something way too complicated? Thanks

draw_surface_ext() might be able to do the trick?

You're right. I was just messing around with it. Don't know why I try to overcomplicate things creating surfaces and resizing.
