      I agree, it's also possible that casting teleportation spells is simple but also a little exhausting, which is why unicorns rarely ever do CTRL+X and CTRL+V.

      And good point! I agree that time-travelling spells sure would take the Equestrian logic and timeline to a whole new level. However, if they were so easy to do, then the show would just be boring. This is why instead of restoring their realm to a previous point in the past (PC reference) and make things boring, ponies would rather have fun dealing with how the realm already is and roll with it. Good thing the timeline was not altered at all in S2E20, but in S5E25 and S5E26, things could've gone a lot worse.

      Imagine if Starlight Glimmer decides to sabotage Twilight's friendships, but in order to do that, she restores Twilight's computer to a point very long ago and deletes the file sonic_rainboom.exe that was responsible for executing the program cutiemarks.html. The program used for restoring the computer was created by Starswirl the Bearded.

      See what I did there? x2

      (this time, I tried to go a little wilder...)

      Actually, unicorns don't seem to overuse teleportation spells. Twilight seems to be walking more than teleporting, and she's just teleporting from place to place when she really has to or only for show. In S2E03, Twilight has been teleporting all around the picnic while explaining to her friends why her letter to the Princess is so important. That is also my first time ever noticing Twilight teleporting (somehow, I completely missed the times in S1E03, S1E04 and after, before S2E03). Unicorns don't seem to be overusing the commands CTRL+X and CTRL+V.

      See what I did there?

      Indeed, didn't you see how Discord in MLP got used to travelling via teleportation, but in S6E26 when he had to deal with the changeling rock, he felt too lazy to walk all the way to the hive? Getting too addicted to teleporting sure would make people lazy.

      And thank you!

      Thanks! See how similar unicorn magic and computer science are?

      It also would be cool if people in the real world could use technology without devices and do stuff that are totally awesome, such as teleporting or having super powers.

      And thank you! When I'll have time, I'm gonna make that video and post it here on MLP Forums. It's gonna be totally awesome!

      Thank you, again glad you like the artwork of my pony OC... very much apparently, lol! And true, using bases sure makes the artwork look better, and redrawing can make it more original.

      I also sure would love to be able to teleport, levitate, time-travel, use shields etc.! Anyways, let me tell you a few reasons why unicorn magic feels like technology.

      Let's start with teleportation, now that you mention it. Teleporting an object in Equestria feels like selecting an object on your computer, then pressing CTRL+X and moving it somewhere else with CTRL+V. Levitating also feels like selecting an object and moving it around on the screen with your mouse. To make things even more awesome, the horn-glowing effect looks just like the transparent blue filter of selected objects on PC! Anyways, time-travelling spells feel like restoring your PC to a previous point in the past. The programming behind that also feels just as complicated as Starswirl's spell. Rarity's gem-finding spell feels like going to a site, pressing CTRL+F and typing "gems" in the search box. Unicorns writing text on scrolls also feels like typing text on a PC keyboard, because why not? There's also some less common spells in MLP that would work out very well as programs on a computer. For exemple, the spell that Twilight used in S5E24 to record Svengallop talking to Pinkie Pie feels just like recording something on your PC with OBS.

      See? Unicorn magic is exactly like computer science!

      I'm also looking forward to making a whole YouTube video about all this.

      Well, glad you like the artwork of my pony OC! And indeed, using bases sure is very efficient! Just download a pony image from Google, draw lines all over that image, then delete the image and keep the lines. Boom! You got yourself a free pony border!

      I also agree that unicorns are the most interesting pony race! Sometimes, I like to think that unicorn magic in Equestria works just like technology in the real world. And I've got many reasons to have this theory.

      That's fine, I perfectly understand. You do you.

      I also can't draw ponies without using bases to keep my art style perfect. My interests are also mostly just computers, games and cartoons. But at least I came up with the idea that my pony OC should be a unicorn with powerful magic and the same personality as me.

      Oh, that's alright. I was just curious to see if you ever drew yourself as a pony or as some sort of MLP character, like I've seen most people on MLP Forums do. But I understand.

      My pony OC is literally just me as a pony, with the same exact personality as me.

      I also like all of the Mane Six including Fluttershy, but I just happen to like Fluttershy the least.

      And indeed, that sure was an adorable Apple Bloom moment, although I don't think I have a favorite Apple Bloom moment.

      And speaking of avatars, I'm curious, do you have your own ponysona or pony OC?

      I agree that all of the Mane Six are totally awesome, but Fluttershy is kinda my least favorite. Just my personal opinion.

      And yeah, the scene I was talking about happened before that. Apple Bloom looks pretty cute over there, doesn't she?

      And that is why she's my favorite Cutie Mark Crusader!

      Glad you like Rarity and all those episodes!

      I remember when I first watched MLP, and saw how Applejack ran and kicked that tree, then shook Twilight's hoof so much it literally got stuck shaking, then overwhelmed Twilight with food and with her family. Lol, I really liked how full of energy Applejack seemed over there!

      Honestly, my mom fell in love with Rainbow Dash. But I still like Applejack.

      Cool!

      I'm also not a big fan of farm life and country life, but aside from Twilight Sparkle, I also really like Applejack. Funny how sometimes our favorite characters don't even match what we like, lol! But it's perfectly fine.

      Same! I also mostly relate to Twilight and Starlight, but also a little bit to the rest of the Mane Six.

      Still, I really like how each and every character in MLP has a different personality!

      I know, right? This is actually on purpose. Green + white + brown makes my pony OC look more unique and it makes him hard to blend in and easy to recognise.

      And cool, so you also relate to Twilight Sparkle! Very cool!

      Yeah, because my pony OC is a cool unicorn with powerful magic. And thank you very much, very glad you like the expression!

      And thanks! Yeah, I'm not much of a bragger. I prefer being more modest. Kinda like Twilight Sparkle.

      Also, I'm aware of my abilities... most of the time... I just don't wanna look like I'm bragging about them or something. I prefer to let my actions speak for themselves.

      And no problem!

      Well, glad you like my artwork! Usually, I'm not very confident in my art, but I'm happy that at least other people like it.

      I also think it's better to underestimate myself than to overestimate myself. I don't wanna be too arrogant or something.

      And no problem! Good luck with your art!

      And good luck and have fun programming your platformer! It already looks super great! Keep going!

      I'm not good at drawing either. But I'm trying my best. I've drawn my pony OC myself, and also all the graphics in my games are made by me. But what you did so far with your bug and your game sure looks really good so far! I really like it!

      Well, feel free to make the graphics however you want. I really like the 8-bit style, but I also like colorful games that have cute graphics but aren't exactly 8-bit.

      I also agree that the bug looks great!

      Well, the problem with the player falling through the floor involves collision and physics, and the player getting stuck in mid-air happens because the gravity is not consistent. You need a variable for the Y-velocity of the player sprite and make it always try to change the Y-velocity by -1, while also having collision with the floor. The floor needs to push the player up when coming from above.

      Nice graphics for the GameMaker game BTW! I really like this kind of graphics!

      Oh yeah, I also like testing, but it's also extremely annoying when you notice a lot of problems with your game in a very short time, especially if most of these problems are impossible to fix. I rarely ever stumble into problems that are impossible to fix, but when I do, it's really annoying.

      I'm also having more fun programming the sprites and building the levels.

      I agree that it's very time-consuming, but it's also a lot of fun! Building the levels is my favorite part of coding a game.

      And no problem!
