Legacy GM Is there any way to have more than 8 views active in one room?

[Olivebates]

Title says it.
Thanks in advance!

To answer literally no there' no way.
However you could create your own "views".

 

[TheouAegis]

The more views you have, the more times game maker runs the draw event. The more views you have, the slower your program will run.

Well I need 9, to make a 3x3 grid of views.

 

[DevNorway]

You could have 1 view and draw 9 different parts of the room. Or 3 views and draw 3 different parts of the room on each of them.

I don't know what you'd need 9 views for, in fact, I'm quite interested to know. Chances are you can use surfaces to achieve what you want.

I'm creating a genetic programming algorythm, to determine the best set of variable for a platformer engine. Each set of offspring get their own view, so I can determine by hand which one is most fit to reproduce to the next generation.

Look up genetic programing if you dont get what I'm talking about.

Well each view needs to folow a separate object.

It's not required to have it "follow" a seperate object. You could draw from the different objects positions.
