It's Mr. Computer!
I have it. It's pretty good, but I hate the way it does certain things, such as collision with solids, its MP3 loading, and the fact that new rooms run at 30 FPS by default (It should be 60, goddamnit!). In addition, it's got stupid full-screen code and it doesn't have a built-in Machine Independent Speed option. I often times use MMF when I have to make an application (GM6 sucks for applications, admit it!) or a game that won't work good in Game Maker.
Also, GM6's 3D sucks. I use DarkBASIC Pro for any 3D I need.

Yes, I do. In fact, I bought myself a registration key awhile back. I don't care about the default 30fps in rooms, only because of the plethora of reg-only coding options ^_^
DarkBASIC is too confusing for me, and is based mostly for 3D. And no, GM6 works well with Applications once you get used to programming, and download the Windows clickables DLL. MMF remains on my PC for quick projects, like Autorun things, but otherwise GM is the only game design program on my Most Used list on XP.

I still don't get why you think GM is good for applications. They have loading screens, require DirectX 8, and GM doesn't give you much in the way of window controls. In MMF you can make the background the same as the system color, make buttons, toolbars, scrollbars, listboxes, entire MDI interfaces, custom dialogues and pop-up windows, along with extra objects to provide handling of data. You get pretty much everything you could want for an application in MMF.

Ever heard of Mode 7 and Klik Open GL?
Both, yush. KlikGL is overconsuming, using real OGL functions that I don't want to have to take an entire class on when I can just go use GM's easy (yet primitive... get it? LOL) functions. X_XJJames19119 said:
Mode 7 fakes it, kinda like how the SNES and GBA does it. Besides, Mode 7 is slow, buggy, and overall a nuisance.
EDIT: What is GMG? I've heard of GMC, but not this...
Isn't that advertising? Yes it is! Ooh, you're gonna get in trouble~~!RE4FAN said:
Don't backset moderate. I don't see the word "Administrator" under your name. That's our job.
I've used Game Maker before. I've done quite a lot of messing around with it, but never got to making a releasable game. Or decently programmed one, for that matter. However, it is rather good for game making Captain Obvious and I redownload it from time to time.

TGF Owns, I was going to use it to make Hundreds of games, I even made a pretty good sonic engine with a couple of links and tutorials. It was glitched though (Sonic sometimes doesn't fly off when running off a 90 degree angle upwards) Made Life icons that have some life in it (Get 100 rings and they'll smile or celebrate, Die and they'll have'll show this= XX. unfortunatly, I didn't get to save that engine nor get a new TGF after the Expiary date ran up.
