Simple 'passthrough' shader for images using the pixeleffect syntax:
[cpp]
vec4 effect(vec4 color, Image texture, vec2 texture_coords, vec2 pixel_coords)
{
vec4 texcolor = Texel(texture, texture_coords);
return texcolor * color;
}[/cpp]

[QUOTE=Lexic;33120436]I always assumed[/QUOTE]
You're correct.
[QUOTE=Dragonsdoom;33118451]Gotta say, I've only ever seen one game on Gamemaker that I've considered purchasing. As far as I've seen it truly is a platform for new developers. My eight year old brother picked it up and made a side-scroller over the course of a week or two part time. It ran into serious performance problems when we made a RTS in our first year at college.
I would not pay ten dollars for your game, but with more game I would pay something. Multiplayer, shaders, cool pixel art, animations, whatever don't do much to increase the value of the game. Right now you have ladders and multiplayer; you need something fresh to make it worth playing. Here are some ideas:
Theme the game towards explosives and explosives development. Make the crafting system involve crazy assembly lines that result in nuclear warheads or something crazy.
Giant walking mechs
Jetpacks that don't suck (totally not a jab at Terraria)
Really cool terrain generation features
Underwater exploration
Make the game about something entirely different, and just have destructible terrain as a cool feature. (cortex command, voxatron)
Cooking game
Serious survival
Procedural world generation, but this time in 3D
Engineering game; make buildings that don't suck (house-qwop?)
Really really big enemies (shadow of the colossus)
You can't just make a procedural world generator and expect people to amuse themselves, you have to have actual game. Until you sort out actual game, then there is no reason to buy it. Try and think about what the player is expected to spend their time doing, figure out how much time for each activity, then build systems around that idea. For instance if you expect people to be digging a lot, make gameplay mechanics that complement the digging. Maybe you find artifacts you can go sell or display? Maybe you can build digging machines that dig faster for you? Maybe you find caves or lost ruins?
Don't give up all hope of selling your game, don't trash it, don't get depressed about failure, don't get scared of harsh words, just realize that it needs something.
I read recently that the difference between amateurs and professionals is that amateurs need more positive feedback to be accepted, but professionals focus more on negative feedback so they can see how they need to improve. Be a professional, accept the negative feedback, and see how you can use it to make your game and yourself something worth ten dollars.[/QUOTE]
While I appreciate your feedback, if you'd read the thread you'd see that I definitely have a clear direction for the game. It's not feature-complete yet by far, but that's not for a lack of planning.

I use TexMacs it gives you a visual tex editor, like a minimalistic word.
Only problem I have with it is that the windows version doesnt seem to like integrating images and PDF's also its standalone so you dnt even need milkyTex

Thanks! I've been struggling with that. Just one more question, how do you refer to an arrow later? As in, it you're doing a hitTest, what would I state it as if I want any arrow to be able to trigger it?

While you're on that thought train, ask yourself who would name their family line after a color, Matthew Blanchard? :downs:
Maybe your linage is known for being the center of bukkakes?
Assholery aside though, I find it interesting I'm frequently called "amc" when all of my identifying works online, including my avatars are all "am". I think it's the -faggot postfix which breaks this distinction.

And a few days later I've already made over 70€ from it. Although I feel like I made a huge mistake requiring a gyroscope which only a few high end devices have. I'm getting requests/complaints about missing accelerometer support all the time...
By the way, icantread, how did your app sell? Because as garry already said in his blog posts about that gem matching game it's really hard to get noticed between the many thousands of apps in a mobile app market. I'm pretty sure that 99% of my sales came from my YT videos, Facepunch, garry's tweet about it(thanks for that again!) and XDA. Even searching for the exact application name it only appears as the 15th result or so between many apps that don't have anything to do with it and before I started working on it I did some research what kinds of apps already existed that would compete with mine and only after I released it I found out about a few really good ones. This one for example is awesome and free and I feel like if more people would know about it they wouldn't even consider buying my app: [url]https://market.android.com/details?id=com.wallpaper.VRTunnelLite[/url]

Lists!
or you can do it more simply by doing
if( Key.isDown(Key.SPACE) )
{
var arrow = _root.attachMovie( "Arrow" , "Arrow" + _root.getNextHighestDepth(), _root.getNextHighestDepth() );
arrow.x = player.x
arrow.y = player.y
if (arrow.hitTest(_root.WHATEVER) {
function();
}
}
