I don't believe Game Maker has a built in physics engine..

In Topic: draw_sprite_ext(); not draw for me

The draw_sprite has to be in the draw event. You probably don't want the sprite creation in the draw event though, as it takes a little time to capture all the pixels on the screen; you only want to do that once. Unless you need to capture every step. Also, I don't believe it takes a whole screenshot, just of the game window, just a heads up.

You are also drawing it in black, which will make the entire image black. Try white.

In Topic: Strings and Variables

You cannot use a string as an input parameter, so you would have to convert that string to an object. However, I don't know of any way to do this in GM. One way would be to use execute_script. This basically takes a string, and executes it. So put the whole instance_create into a string, add the i using string concatenation, and execute it.

EDIT: as seen below, I meant execute_string, not execute_script.

454,570 is the current high score in the online scoreboard for the unreleased version..... :P A few things have changed since this version though, it's a little easier to get a higher score.

This IS still getting worked on, just not at an extremely fast pace like it used to be. You can follow our facebook page here:
