Thanks for your help, but too bad that its not possible. I have absolutely no experience with scripting, except for the first exercise in the tutorial (which consists of typing things into notepad).

@xXxGuitar: I checked out GameMaker, but it seemed very inaccesible. Im trying out "Scrolling Game Dev Kit". Do you know if you can make games in GameMaker that are side-scrolling but with a crosshair that follows the mouse?

@Ulillillia: Ok thanks. Im going to try to work my way through the tutorials some more. That game looks very good. Have you made any others?
