Description

When you draw stuff in the Draw event, it doesn't go directly onto the screen - instead it goes onto an intermediate surface known as the Application Surface. Let's talk about it!

I'm kinda surprised I haven't made a video on the application surface before this. You're probably noticing that many things in GameMaker that seem simple at first glance are actually much more complicated than they appear to be if you want to peel back the curtain. It's great.

This is used pretty often with shaders to achieve screen-space effects. Here's my shader playlist:
