Looking into how to most efficiently use Particles in Game Maker.
-You only need a new SYSTEM when you want to have different depth.

-Make a new EMITTER for each object making particles.

-Make a new PARTICLE when changing multiple settings (speed/sprite)


Particles are "Fire and Forget" so you can change their settings without much worry, but Systems and Emitters actively check their settings, which is why you need a new one.

Tip!
Make a script and put your Particle clean up code in there, then put the script in your Game End/Destroy/Room End code!

Happy Sunday Lunch day everyone! I hope you're all well and get to eat some damn fine food today! Take care of yourselves and have a fantastic day!

Favourite Turtle from a game? WELL. This is a total cheat but;

"Great A'Tuin, the World Turtle, of the species Chelys galactica, is the gigantic turtle upon whose back the Discworld was carried through space."

#TurtleDay

Yea! Rebuilt the Eating/Reaction system!

Now the Food has a direct effect on the reaction instead of it being random.

Testing Player eating:

Carrots = Unhappy

Baked Banato = Angry

All other food = Happy

Next I need to swap that to NPC likes/dislikes

Happy #WIPWednesday!
