    Should Dlls always return a value?

    I wasted perhaps almost half a day trying to debug my dll crashing (I even built a tool during that time that can compile GameMaker projects from the terminal so that I could run my game from vscode so that I could attach a debugger to see what was happening in the dll). The return value in...

    GameMaker Putting a n-bytes C++ value in a buffer for GM to read

    Hi all! I am working on a C++ dll's ability to return a char array. My first question is: The template specifies a return type of char pointer . Is there a problem if the function returns an unsigned char pointer? I did some tests and it seems like it has no problem, but maybe it won't be OK...

    Windows Is there a way to send a string to external python program?

    I want to use Python for neural learning as it has very good libraries for it, so my idea is that GM2 send out strings to Python program and Python can control GM2 via key press events.
