• continued to go over PDF tutorial and came across problem with 2d movement and couldn't figure solution so i continued to progress through tutorial .

Game Title: "Escape Reality"

Software using to make game: Game Maker Studio

• couldn't sleep and decided to continue to work on figuring out what the problem is. 
• looked more into possible extensions to assist with 3D design and programming in game maker 
• downloaded the 3DX extension and added it to game-maker and messed around and tried to figure out how to use it. worst case scenario i go back to watching YouTube tutorials
• after thorough messing around and research i have to come to decide that
1. i have definitely given myself one heck of a challenge in making this game
2. that im going to need to do a lot of experimentation in order to get everything the way i want or that ill be accepting of 
3. it will take a cast amount of trying different ways of making a FPS with game maker to see what i like, and can use best. 
• I have found a PDF tutorial for hopefully what i am trying to accomplish and i will follow what it directs and see what happens

Game Title: "Escape Reality"

Software using to make game: Game Maker Studio

• Made some tea , opened up game maker and started learning how to make an FPS with a YouTube  tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiohgijWQLw) and started making a test game before making actual game
• Made two sprites for test game 

• a sprite to represent the player 

• and a sprite to represent a wall 
• followed video speakers lead and typed in code to allow program to understand that the game is in 3d and then set the game so that it would place the player in the center of the room.

• Started second part of tutorial (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mgh1b4rjb4) and again followed speakers lead , but came across problem when running the game for the first time and worked on figuring out what was wrong.
• pondered on possibly looking for an extension to make 3D programming in game easier
• took a 40 minute break to make more tea, get food, and do some household chores
• Progress stopped by parental figures. project saved. hoping to work more later but dont know...
