gamemaker: studio

I've been recently trying to make a game in GameMaker Studio 1 because of quarantine. It kinda makes it harder because basically all tutorials now are focused on GM:S 2. The problem is, although i was able to make a camera with the view of the room, per some motive, the sprite of my Player gets...

Ok, so I've downloaded GM:S (game maker: Studio) and a box appeared saying 'Acquiring Licence' and I waited but then it said 'You do not have any GameMaker: Studio 1.X licences attached to your account.' so I made a GameMaker Community account and decided to make this post to ask how to get one...

I've been having trouble with a, so far, very simple game. The object Player, when vk_left or vk_right is pressed, is supposed to move left/right. The object Player has a create event and step event: ///Create Event spd = 20; ///Step Event if (global.right) Player.x += spd; if...

I bought a new laptop which has 1920x1080 resolution, which is different from the 1366x768 on my old laptop. I put GameMaker: Studio on my new laptop, and everything works fine, but the whole program is blurry. I've tried a few things already, and nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me?

Graphical issue that isn't really a programming issue, but it doesn't really fit with the technical support questions either... so I thought it would be best to just put it here. GameMaker does not have a built in function to draw a trapezoid, so what I did was I drew two triangles like this...

Hey guys, I've come across a pretty serious problem recently. I was contacted by a customer yesterday who says his game doesn't save. I am using file_text_open_write() to save progress inside appdata (the sandbox). I asked him to investigate and try several things, this is what we have tried...

Hi, I'm making a platform game in GameMaker: Studio, and I'm wondering if I should even bother trying to use collision_rectangle. Someone I talk to, who is more experienced than I am, recommended me to use it for collisions. I know some other people are also starting to use collision_rectangle...

I'm making a base engine for an RPG based on a tutorial I found on YouTube, and I decided to add a custom icon for fun. It works fine in the Taskbar and in the game window, but on the desktop it shows the default GameMaker icon. I tried exporting it as a zip to see if that fixed it, and the icon...

I am sure that the answer already exists somewhere, but I am not sure exactly what I would need to search in order to find the answer. I need to create a dynamic save file, and by that I mean the quantity of variables stored varies. For example, only one object is present in the room, so the x...
