I was wondering what your input is on the best method(s) for creating a 2D game maker in BM. What do you think I should use for scripting? I am not sure if using the built in Lua module would be the best idea... but you may think it is. And how do you think I should go about forming the "final product"? I have no idea how to create my own .exe files with BM (or any language for that matter). I was thinking of just taking an already existing .exe then adding scripts into the .exe itself. Kind of like how incbin works, I just don't know how I should approach the problem. Any other ideas and topics you can come up with would be appreciated.
