      @Retrocade_media This is totally awesome! I'd love to have a full-fledged schmup to play within Fuze, and I'm sure a lot of other people would too.

              Quick update for today, I didn't get everything done that I wanted to, but I still got a small story segment in at the beginning. I'm just making this for fun, so no promises that anything will come of it, but I like how it's coming so far.

                    I shared what I have so far today! I posted the code over on "The Great List of Game Codes" but thought I'd put it here as well:

                        @Martin Oh, thank you! That was really quick. Right now its just a small proof of concept, so I plan to add a lot more.

                          Just downloaded this and played it for a time, it's really good!! Can't wait to see what you add next.

                            I downloaded the game as well, nice game, well done :)

                            Also, I'm sorry, but I couldn't help to read the comment about using random for a range.

                            When you feel like you need to use a pattern a lot that you need to think about each time, then you can always consider writing a function that solves that problem in a way you feel comfortable with. For example:

                            // returns random value within the specified range
                            function rng(low, high)
                                int size = abs(high-low)
                                int result = random(size)+low
                            return result
                            
                            // can be used as:
                            print(rng(-50, 50))
                            

                            (edit: I've now tested the function in Fuze and it works as expected)

                            I've not read most of your code, but your game works nicely and I see you are already using functions. It's just a thought I wanted to share because of the comment :)

                              @PB____ thanks for the advice! I'll try that out now, as I'd much prefer to use a range!

                                Some progress from today. I didn't get as much done as I wanted to, but I began to experiment with Tilemaps as well as get a little deeper in to the image editor.

                                Sorry about the low quality photo, I will replace it when I get home.

                                  "FUZESHMUP", as I am temporarily calling it, is coming along nicely. I have an interesting bug though, which is documented in the new demo that I posted. If anyone has a fix for it, please let me know!

                                    @Retrocade_media A little off topic, but that "POWER UP" sound effect you're using cracks me up. Reminds me a little of "Altered Beast" or something :D

                                        As for todays progress, I honestly didn't get much done. I worked on the art, but I still can't figure out that "Recurssion limit exceeded" error. I'm not going to post a new demo until thats fixed and I have a little more to show. If you have any idea how to fix it, the current version has the same problem, you can redownload it through the code above!

                                            New update! Code in the first post!

                                            As a note, I may end up using elements from this in other projects, however I feel this will be the last of this particular project (for now)
