Indie Day 14 - So Today Things Got a Lot Harder

my last project i worked primarily with drag and drop programming, but for this project i've started working with gml code, like this piece of collision code that goes in a step event 

///friction code///

if (speed > 8) speed = 8;

///collision code///

if hspeed!=0

if !place_free(x+hspeed,y)

{

    if hspeed>0 move_contact_solid(0,hspeed)

    if hspeed<0 move_contact_solid(180,-hspeed)

    hspeed=0

}

if vspeed!=0

if !place_free(x+hspeed,y+vspeed)

{

    if vspeed>0 move_contact_solid(270,vspeed)

    if vspeed<0 move_contact_solid(90,-vspeed)

    vspeed=0

}

so yea, that's fun.

my other codes for directional movement

it's going good.

i feel motivated.
