Creating my sprite

To create the sprite I used only one thing the first square at the top left hand corner out of the boxes that have black outlines and the colours I used were black, white, blue, purple, red and orange. I changed the colour by using the colour charts on the right hand side of the area to edit sprite I also chose the name at the beginning naming it no eyes-spr.


Sprite properties

In the sprite properties before I got started on the object I first named it noeyes_obj and set the origin coordinates to centre so everything that went on was based in the centre. After I set the origin I hovered over the collision mask then I clicked on modify mask and I left it set on the rectangle shape then clicked the tick box to say I finished it.


Creating object and Coding keyboard controls


When I was making the object I first I clicked to add my sprite then I set it to visible and solid I also unchecked the persistent box. Then I hovered over to the event box then clicked step then clicked step again and then I went to the little squares on the right hand side and there was columns with names of options to choose out off. There I chose controls then went to the square with the piece of paper in with writing on because that’s the code then I dragged it to the box in the middle then then typed this ///Movement to tell me what it was as the title then I did the same for which movement however between all of the ///up ///down ///left and ///right there was codes like this: ///movement

If keyboard_check (ord("W"))

{

y=(y-8);

}

But just with different letters and switched from negative to plus also y to x for the axis.


Creating a room

I right clicked on room then clicked on create room. I clicked on the settings options and set the numbers to 1024 and 576 and left the speed at 30 and I named it place.

Then I clicked background option and ticked the first box then clicked colour and change it to blue.



Then I added my sprite to the back ground so when I test it the sprite will be in the middle of the screen then I clicked the tick box.

After that I went back to the movement file and added codes to set up the limited areas of the room.

The codes were like this: ///top

if y<=32

{

y=32

}

But did four copies and switched to the names to the different directions of the room and the numbers and the axis.


Creating a scrooling background

When I was creating the background I first clicked on background then edit background secondly I set the height and width to 1024 and 576 then I got to making the background after I finished creating the background I clicked the tick button. Now that I finished the background I went back to the room editing to save the background as the game background after I clicked on to editing the room I went to the background option I clicked on the little sheet button then I clicked on the option that said dark area because that’s what I named my background and I also changed the Hor speed to -6. Finally I clicked the ok button when I had finished changing every detail in the background.


Particle system effect



When I was creating the thrust sprite I first had to create a new sprite not too big.

After I created the sprite I had to make it as an object as well so I had to code the thrust as a light particle system and the code went like this.

light1 = part_system_create();

part1 = part_type_create();

part_type_sprite(part1, thrust_spr, false, false, false);

part_type_size(part1, 0.5, 1, -0.1, 0);

part_type_life(part1, 300, 300);

part_type_gravity(part1, random_range(0.5, 2), 180);

part_type_alpha1(part1, random_range(0.1, 0.75));
