Basically, I want to do something like this:

 function debugVariable(myVariable) { 
      draw_text(0,0, "myVariable: " + string(myVariable));
 }

Problem is with drawing the variable name dynamically. Is there a way to do it, like variable_get_name or something along the lines?

I really loved the idea of Xenonauts (1), an attempt to do first XCom "again" and "right". And for most part, they did. Way better than Disneyfied remake XCOM .

I extremely enjoyed xenopedia entries, attempt to give more sense and explanation to general quirks of whole idea, whole scientists vs. engineers humor and so on. It was a fine game, and save for stun gas grenade spam, pretty well balanced.

Xenonauts 2, I'm not sure what it is. It's like first game, with every terrible idea implemented and every weakness of the first game amplified.

Music is recycled and poor. If there's one thing XCOM remake did really, really well, it was the [music](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvMN89NSFb

If you teleport away, there will be a you-shaped mass of vacuum where you just stood. Which will rapidly collapse as room air rushes in. So I guess it'd be like opening a champagne cork, except that cork is human-sized.

Now where you did teleport, had air in that same location. So you appearing there has to displace all that air, in an instant. Which is faster than... well, everything. So... maybe even a sonic boom? It also compresses giga rapidly, so there's probably a lot of heat involved.

Teleporting would not be quiet.

Cheating...?

General :orly:

I mean, it's half a million dollars and they are not taken to the moon, but Canada. Also, there's no camera crew.

Shouldn't be too difficult nor expensive to organize some sort of outside aid to win the thing, even though they do need to lose a lot of weight to appear legit.

Right. I think it wasn't a real game at all, just a trailer of a (probably ASCII-based) roguelike, where you played as a serial killer, snuck up to house in suburban setting and murdered its owner.

I think owner peed themself during combat and whole combat was very precise, like hitting particular limbs and such, much like Unreal World RPG.

A table meant to be ran around with quick movements comes with sharp corners? Whoever designed that and wrote down the requirements for the table had zero imagination or design sense.

Especially for kids, table's about the hip bone height and there's little things more painful than catching one behind a sharp corner.
