    Constant array with colors (using enum or macro)

    I am making a game where players can choose from a list of colors for their player to be. I am trying to store the colors a player can be in an array, and this array I think should be a constant (instead of a global variable) since it won't need to change once the game is started. However, both...

    How do I do it? I'm trying to pick a random value from an enum for an object at the creation of that object. Do I have to set that enum's value in the create event (to zero) and then make it random in a step event? Or can I set that random value right away in the create event. And, what...

    Found what seems like a bug in GameMaker Studio 2: is_real() returns false when passed an enum even though enums are treated as ints in every other case I can find. The documentation for is_real says it "returns whether a given variable is a real number (single, double or integer) or not" and...

    What is the simplest way to get the order of keypresses?

    I apologize for not posting example code. I've tried several approaches including enum, and switch, and posting my attempts would not be much use. I attempted to code without them, but quickly realized it would be quite bulky with too many if statements to be optimal / manageable. I've also...
