Make A Game #9: Arrays, inventory and weapon switching
303There's an important correction in the annotations this time, and I know you don't read these notes, so I'm saying it at the top! 5 more things to know:
1. Here's the playlist of all the parts so far: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUtKzyIe0aB2HjpmBhnsHpK7ig0z7ohWw
2. We're using the free 'Standard' edition of Game Maker Studio 1.4 for Windows, which you can grab here: http://www.yoyogames.com/studio/download
3. If you're trying to follow this and it's not working, download the source code for this part from here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/368nuqqpg9lz1su/AADYdbXud4XM62v1Df1bb7Fta?dl=0
And open it in Game Maker. If it works, your code must be different somewhere, so look for that. If it doesn't work, it's something to do with Game Maker or your computer and I don't know anything about that.
4. I do about 2-4 episodes a week, whenever I have time, there's no more specific schedule than that.
5. Here's a good post from Casey Muratori's programming blog about object oriented programming: http://mollyrocket.com/casey/stream_0019.html
And here's his Handmade Hero project I mention: https://handmadehero.org/
