That's an interesting idea, and certainly possible. I think I'd have to start using draw_ functions though and those are awkward and I don't quite know how to use them yet ^^; or how to make glowing effects or whatever. but that'll come in time! Right now I've been working on making the level actually populated by enemies to shoot at and such, and working on getting shot at yourself too. so far it's coming together nicely. Gonna have a nice multi-part boss for the first (probably only) level too I think. should be dead simple to do ^^
