Had some fun with gamemaker studio. Had to open the "app" using

$ /Applications/GameMaker\ LTS.app/Contents/MacOS/x86_64/GameMaker 
Starting......
Doing Validate Folder check...  macOS=True

But it worked mostly, it just couldn't load asteroids template ... well it could but readonly. so I only saw the blank starting room :(

But I made a new project and edited the background sprite, and tada!

Huhh?? by the way gamemaker is owned by Opera? Like the browser? 🤨

I got started on it cause I read that Undertale used it. And a friend is using it for a new game apparently.

I'm happy to have discovered it, since it bundles the asset creation tools. Like flash!! So I don't need to have students download a standalone image editing tool etc.
