Game Maker Versions

Game Maker 1.3 is a quick version that has appeared after Game Maker 1.2a, the exact changes in this versions aren't really known, but it probably isn't anything large.

[edit] Complete List of Changes

  • You can now use arbitrary sized images (also large ones) for the objects.
  • Object, Room, and Sound creation now have buttons to insert objects, and to cut and copy objects to a clipboard and paste them back.
  • The form to create pieces of code has been improved with more option (like printing the code).
  • You have much more control over drawing, making it e.g. possible to draw shapes rather than images.
  • The program now contains tools to delete games, and import and export games in zip format, for easy distribution.
  • There is a new forall construction in the language with which you can execute a piece of code for all instances of a particular object.
  • Images are now saved as animated gifs. Old games can still be loaded.
  • The internals have been completely redone, resulting in faster execution, less memory consumption, and no more limits on the number of objects, variables, etc.
