Game Maker Studio 2 - a player that can strafe, shoot, and collide with walls in 60 LOC

It's crazy how much can be done without code:

• Placing objects at locations in the world.
• Running code on an object every step.
• Setting a speed and direction on an object and having that object move accordingly.
• Assigning a sprite to an object.
• Drawing a sprite at the right rotation.
• Assuming the hit box of a sprite is just its dimensions.
• Assuming that a collision is when two hit boxes are overlapping.

Code is used for:

• Moving the player and spewing bullets in response to keys being pressed.
• Preventing movement if an object is colliding with something.
• Removing a bullet if it collides with a wall.
