So yesterday I was opening a Tumblr post in Microsoft Edge, an when I tried to click on it, an ad window popped up. Is it actually normal? In fears of getting a virus, I made a 1-day system restore, and then ran Malware Bytes. Fortunately I got nothing, but I'll be running Avast to make sure that I haven't got anything nasty. Any ideas how this could be happening, and how to solve it?

Edit: I meant to write "Tumblr blog" in the title. Can someone change this?

Most likely normal. I don't use Tumblr but there are many sites that do this.
Also, use Chrome.

Yeah, but on a Tumblr blog? Something's fishy. But just in case, I'll be using the Tumblr app in my phone instead for these types of blogs so this doesn't happen again.

Either way, any ideas to make sure my PC didn't get infected?

    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 @ 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.
