    Windows Return HWND? (C++)

    Is it possible with casting or some other method to return an HWND in a GameMaker DLL function? For example, a WinAPI FindWindow() function wrapper. It would be pretty useless if it couldn't return anything readable by GM. For example... C++: HWND window_find(char *class_name,char...

    Asset - Extension Suggestion to have a (for-pay) 3D physics DLL extension for gms all.

    If someone made a 3d physics DLL for game maker I would pay cash-money for it. The Newton DLL is very outdated from 2011 and doesnt use Newton 3. And the GM Bullet DLL is glitchy. GM has a lack of an actual good 3d physics system and this is basically, the achilles heel of it. If someone made...

    Legacy GM c++

    what if I code some function in c++ and have game maker read its output, will it be faster than just coding it in gamemaker? (example, a while loop checking for a value in a 100x100 array) after all, isn't game maker slow, and c++ really fast?

    GameMaker Best Way to Render from a DLL?

    I've been experimenting with working with extensions and DLLs, and was wondering what people have done in the past to render from a DLL? I've seen a few extensions that seem to do this, but wasn't sure. Right now, I'm thinking my best bet is to share a buffer with the DLL, and...
