ooh, thank you for taking the time to explain this! Makes sense why the software was picking it up as false positive, though odd it seems fine with it outside the zip file

Not sure if this helps anyone, but I was still getting virus checked with 1.01 - Chrome didn't want to download it, and then it didn't want to open and unzip.
However, in my case some software was flagging the zip as malware and deleting it immediately (it was concerned about a HEUR/APC threat, which might mean more to others than me). Once I paused the software, I was able to unzip the file, and strangely, it doesn't detect any problems with the files once they're out of the archive - just the zip itself. Game runs fine after this, and Windows defender has zero issues with it.
I felt very rushed at the end - in spite of me thinking along the same lines that I would have more time over summer, sports day, speech contest and training new ALTs all conspired against me. That said, I'm super pleased with what I got out in the end.
Stuff Learned:
How Game Maker works! It was a whole bunch of fun and a very fun program to play around in
The importance of planning the flow of your code blocks - the simple coding I was doing in-block was ok, but planning as to where you should put a block of code with regards to when its object would be triggered/etc was an experience
Better Next Time:
Create more from scratch! I wanted to do my own audio and stuff, but just did not have the time
Listened to:
Hi everyone! Current JET in Hachinohe, Aomori. My first game Jam where I'm actually the one making the bulk of the game (have done some before in an audio/design capacity). I'm also using a program I've never used before, so I'm planning to adapt the work I did in the tutorials I've done into the game for the jam! Good luck everyone
