People strive to go for holidays from Platform Builder and this is what I also may do sometimes. I decided to quit a lot of activities because of time limits that often ended with no results before I had to work for another people comfort again. However, holidays are those days when I have more time for focusing perhaps on doing more complicated things. Below you can see about what I have done on holidays.
Because of people are not modding for OpenRA here I think I have no reason to describe what exactly I did but a small overview from a thing is that I made a new AI player and coded a behavior to it for 3 difficulty levels. In this video, I am fighting against my own creation on hard difficulty and win but my AI is able to beat regular built-in AI's often even on "Normal" difficulty level.
Previously, I have created also one more AI and for seeing please check out my YouTube channel. :)

I saw a little bit of this, but couldn't tell what was going on. I did check your youtube channel. It's interesting. So, you made this with game maker from scratch? (Scratch meaning starting with your own tools.)

No. There are some this kind of games out made with Game Maker but I actually don't know if there are so stable versions about this kind out made with Game Maker.
A map what you are seeing is actually a custom map and creating our own games for this engine is a modding. Because we are not making the application but changing it by changing some files that will be read by the engine.
However, why I call this difficult is because it has been felt even more difficult than making a whole game with Game Maker. And I still have a lot of pain with it because of LUA API that is much different from understandable and simple GML. When I deal with it my most of the time goes to failing and testing before I really am going to do something. Now it is simpler for me, of course, because I have made something and I can take some of the code from my previous maps.
This map is an old map for a game called Red Alert and later converted to OpenRA. Then I added missing YAML code and LUA for enemy behavior and rules of the game. :)
My the latest Game Maker game is as follows:

(Your youtube video is not showing.) Hmm...

Still tested my post... :) Now it's working.

Okay.
