I bought GameMaker Studio for that very reason.  Yet for some reason this project won't even build to HTML5.  Well, it builds, but when I load the resulting web page in my browser it won't run anything.  Very odd.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>And to build to OS X or iOS or Ubuntu or Windows 8 I need a second computer that runs that OS to target.  My current environment doesn't have that.  But if any other GameMaker Studio developers out there want to download the source and make a build, by all means go ahead.  And if you can send me the build, I'll host it and update this entry with a link to it."},{"author_name":"csanyk","author_uid":"10473","time":"Apr 27, 2013 @ 9:28pm","epoch":1367097780,"text":"OK I managed to rebuild my project and get an HTML5 build that runs.

I hope to be more inspired by the theme next time. This was really more of a joke entry\/protest of the theme. - -  although if I had a freer schedule this weekend, I would have made a second,  more serious attempt. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>PacifistGames, you're quite welcome! I am glad my tutorials are getting popular. I worked on the wave motion problem pretty hard, as a result of the previous LD, where I had to fake it with a sprite animation. I do learn a lot from doing these compos. :-D"},{"author_name":"ddionisio","author_uid":"17724","time":"May 1, 2013 @ 6:18am","epoch":1367388780,"text":"Hm...I don't about the theme though...this feels more like nihilism than minimalism...You took away too much!"},{"author_name":"Brassawiking","author_uid":"13137","time":"May 13, 2013 @ 7:25pm","epoch":1368472800,"text":"Actually wanted it to be more smartass against me when I lost."},{"author_name":"csanyk","author_uid":"10473","time":"May 14, 2013 @ 1:15pm","epoch":1368537000,"text":"@Brassawiking: Congratulation!
