     Suggestions for QA

    Hey everyone, I'm wondering what the best practices are for QA and getting feedback on a game in general. For my current game, I have gotten feedback from at least half a dozen people who have generously offered feedback, but I feel the game could benefit from dedicated QA testers. I read...

    does buffer_compress cause memory leak?

    I was testing my map generating code, when I found the memory monitor goes up several MBytes every time I generate a map. Then I reviewed my code and found it was buffer_compress(). I created a demo project and wrote some testcode: var buf = buffer_create(10240000, buffer_fixed, 1); var...

    Discussion White Screen of Death on Dell D6000 dock

    So, I am using a Latitude 7280 for mobile development (read: development on the go, not mobile platform). It attaches to a D6000 dock from Dell, which is giving me issues. When the dock is disconnected, GMS2 opens just fine. When it is connected, the UI seems to freeze graphically. If I open...

    Program crashes in room editor

    Usually I use the mouse wheel to change the scale of the room editor and it works just fine. The magnifying glass icons with the +,- and = signs are supposed to work for that too right? I wanted to set the ratio back to 100% so I pressed the one with the = and it crashed. When I reloaded, I...
