i made a partition and installed ubuntu alongside windows 7 after i installed ubuntu i loaded windows 7 and deleeted the partition with ubuntu cause i didnt want it anymore but this GRUB thing is what let me boot at startup it gave me a list of OSs to choose from but after i deleted the partition i restarted and the GRUB thing came up again but it said GRUB error (Recovery) and i cant do anything its sort of like a command prompt thing i cant even press F8 to load boot options right now i booted ubuntu from the disc and got into my windows 7 drive from there and im copying the entire root of the drive which means Windows, program files, program fies (x86) and etc. im thinking if i just do a clean install of windows 7 with the disc and copy all of the sstuff back it will just go back to normal am i right??? if not please help me
Pop in the Windows 7 disc and use the bootrec command to restore the Windows bootloader. You can try an automatic fix, first. If that doesn't do it, use the command prompt and do:
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
bootrec /fixmbr
bootrec /fixboot
Okay, put the Windows 7 disc in and restart the computer. Depending on what kind of motherboard you have, you need to figure out what button gets you to the drive selection screen (it's usually f8). Boot from the DVD and then select "repair your computer." You should then get to select the drive with Windows 7, after that you can select "startup repair" which should try to automatically repair the MBR and erase GRUB. If that doesn't work reload to the part where you can select "startup repair" and select "command prompt" then type in what I gave you before.

There will be hidden files and stuff left behind, but you shouldn't have to worry about them.
In an interesting phenomena, when I started trying to backup files from an old computer I planned to get rid of, I found many "shadow drives" - drives that used to exist (in a previous installation of windows) but disappeared after installing a new copy of windows and repartitioning the drives. In one of them I even found and recovered some old projects I had completely forgotten about. The strange thing is that in every method I used to access the drives (locally via windows, locally via DOS, remotely via LAN or even remotely via HDD dock), every time it had a different configuration of shadow drives from different periods of its life. It made recovering lost files very fun

If your internet speeds are fast enough. Streaming 4k takes alot. I used to only have 20mb sec, and 4k struggled. Now I have 300mb sec and 4k plays fine.+1

I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming+1

Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.+1

and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses) -

There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"

@
Xdqwerty:
i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect

BigOnYa:
Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
- fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection) -

That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.+1
