I expected it to contain less exaggerated reactions, everything else is fine.

The way objects are handled in GML (basically almost nonexistent encapsulation) and preferred use of globals also simplifies things a lot.

Yes, although you must realize simplifying things doesn't always make them easier to use. And large portions of C++ code for drawing sprites, collision detection etc., can be successfully copied from older projects, assuming you had any. If I had had a ready level previewer in C++, I'd have used that to record the demo instead, but all I had at that moment was a GML one, so I used that.

God bless you.
