Prologue: Last term I took a Statistics course that taught me how to use StatCrunch (statistics calculator), which requires a fee at least every year, so instead I thought I'd just finish up some work I've been doing in Excel, which are part notes part program. However, coming back to try and use it after a year or something is going to be difficult. Now I'm going to take my first programming class on programming with a GUI this fall I believe, but I already have some experience with programming in gml, so I think it would be easier.
So, I'm a little unsure, if I were to start making a non-game in GameMaker, would I ever be able to get any help? Is there some serious language issues I'll have if I try to make a calculator? Will my C++ professors notice if I submit all my assignments in gml? I just want to save the most money and time possible.
P.S. Now that I typed this out I realize it should have gone in the Off Topic section sorry.
