Surfaces and Tomato.es
The year is 2018. I have just learned how to use surfaces on GMS today. I feel special since I've always refused (being a kid that mostly revolved around GM 5.3, and did not have access to surfaces), yet my needs called for learning. I'm excited because there does seem to be a bunch of possibilities with this function. Nothing too related to my game however haha.
I wish I could provide screenshots, but nothing yet. Progress has been slow for the past few days and I have just picked up this...

I passed my national registry to be an EMT-B. I am now a glorified ambulance driver, whoo!

When you cannot draw a car you can always draw a running figure. Now I cannot call it a racing game, though.
It is being made in Javascript & Html5. Yeah, that's "pseudo-3D" you see. No WebGL this time.
I could write a longer blog but no one bothers reading it anyway.

Been studying for the last month for my EMT exam. one month left. then i can fuck off practice Melee/work on my game as much as I want to.
btw use tomato.es if you're having trouble concentrating with studying, like me. And read about the Pomodoro technique on wikipedia before trying it out -- it's done wonders for my undisciplined mind, and I intend to use it for game development as well when I'm done.

On programming or "why did I write a game in Java and what next"
(Finding a good title for a blog is surprisingly hard)
I finished The Oyster Mirror, that puzzle game of mine, yesterday. You can play it on Itch.io (https://jani-nykanen.itch.io/the-oyster-mirror). The source code is available on Github (https://github.com/jani-nykanen/the-oyster-mirror). The source code is actually more relevant in the point of view of this blog.
Here I would like to share something about the project if we consider it as a programming project and ignore th...
