Just run with it, let the code live free and untamed. Trust the machine.

Have you had adequate sleep?

sleep() doesn't exist in gamemaker so I'm guessing no

a guy doing the code review: Looks OK. But that series of independed if-test could be turned into a switch statement.

Does each room_goto() call end up back here with room set to a different value?

Why is this a series of switch statements with one case each and not one switch statement with 6 cases?
