   For the essentials of a platform game, I chose to watch a tutorial from the same guy who did the asteroids tutorials, Shaun Spalding. I learned how to create gravity, blocks, and a character. My problems were, that sometimes his code would only be compatible with Gamemaker 2, what he was using in his tutorials. So, I had to modify some of the code. All of my visuals, like the sprites, are simple and my own. I created the jumping spike on my own, with the knowledge I had from making the enemies with the tutorial's help. The room design was my own. Some of the code I had to do alone, since I had not much time, like the death animation and actions when the character touches an enemy or spike. I have an unfinished idea too, which was a breakable block, which had all the same properties as the normal blocks, except it had health. I tried to fix it, but I did not know what was wrong.

/15  Functionality - Does the game work as intended? Does anything happen that should not?

/15  Coding - Does the coding look organized and easy to follow?

/10 Concepts - Do the level concepts seem reasonable to achieve and are somewhat interesting? Are the obstacles interesting?

I started making the sprites for my game. I also made my project proposal.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izNXbMdu348&t=1172s) I used this tutorial to create the basics of the game. I made 10 sprites for my main character in Gamemaker through Adobe Photoshop. I made the wall blocks as well. My character can move left and right and collisions are set between character and block.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6l02DcpSR4&t=833s) I used this tutorial to start creating animation when my character walks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCeyiEcWRAs&t=468s I created a sprite for a gun, and finished the moving animation when my character walks and runs.

June 4, 2018

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCeyiEcWRAs&t=468s) I made the gun able to shoot. However, I ran into a problem where the tutorial guy used instance_create_layer, which is an unrecognisable command for Gamemaker, so I had to change a bit of my script, using just instance_create instead, then improvising the other parts of my script.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsVqc2dnftU&t=3s) I made other sprites for all non-player characters, and started to work on the enemy controls.

June 8, 2018
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsVqc2dnftU&t=224s) I created 2 new sprites, a spike block that bounces, and a breakable block, which is my own work. I followed the tutorial to in making the code for my enemy players.

June 12, 2018
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JsVqc2dnftU&t=224s) I made it so that when the enemy dies, it changes to the dead object. The enemy can now get shot.

My characters can now move on their own. I made the jumping spikes, and designed a proper room. I created the death animation, and also the death when touching the spike or enemy myself.
