Creating and using images

You handle images similarly as you handle other shapes, except that to use an image you have to load it before hand.

# Loading an image

You can use gm_image_open, and passing the path to the image you want to open, you are adviced to use png images since I ensure that at least them should be supported everywhere.

the function returns a gmimage object, which has properties like height and width which are the actual image's dimensions.

# drawing the image

easy, use gm_image_draw, passing image dimensins, if you want to draw only part of an image(that's what sprites do) you can use gm_image_draw_part.

# Example

        gmImage person = gm_image_open("assets/images/person.png");
int width = person.width;
    height = person.height;
gm_image_draw(person, 0, 0, 1, 1);
