About

GameMaker is a user-friendly game development platform designed for creators of all skill levels, enabling them to build 2D games quickly and efficiently. It features a drag-and-drop interface alongside its GameMaker Language (GML), providing flexibility for both beginners and experienced developers. The engine includes a suite of built-in tools for animation, physics, and shaders, allowing developers to create polished games without requiring extensive coding knowledge. GameMaker supports cross-platform deployment, enabling games to be exported to PC, mobile, consoles, and web with minimal adjustments. With its intuitive workflow and powerful features, GameMaker is a popular choice for indie developers and small studios looking to bring their game ideas to life.

About

The GameMaker Language (also called simply GML) is the proprietary GameMaker scripting language. This language is structured to permit users to create their games in an intuitive and flexible way while offering all the power of any other major programming language. It is also the basis for GML Visual and can be used in conjunction with that if required. Each event has its own tab in the editor and you can add, edit, or remove code from them at any time (for more information on events see Object Events). The code itself must have a basic structure and can contain resource indices, variables, functions, expressions, keywords, etc. all of which are explained in the sections below. If you are a novice to programming or making the switch from GML Visual, it is recommended that you start with the page on basic code structure and then read through all the other pages in this section, testing code from each one within GameMaker itself.
