    GameMaker Difference between these GM7 keyboard codes + Studio 2 counterpart?

    I'm manually porting a old GM7 project to Studio 2 and I came across these two different Keyboard event types. At first i assumed they were interchangeable but given this object has both a "Keyboard left" and a "Key Press left" with different code, I guess not. What's the difference between...

When using PC Desktop (Windows) to create tcp server using network_create_server(network_socket_tcp, port, maxclients) and destroying it using network_destroy(socket), the process is instant.

For example: port 800x600 is changed to 1240x720. After running the game and returning to the game...

    SOLVED A (hopefully-not) Stupid Question about Networking

    Does the port the server uses need to be the same as the port the client is using? When I attempt a connection, it connects... sometimes. I run a simple looping code for finding and setting a useable port, so I thought that maybe the ports were changing, and they seemed to have been the same...

    Uneven pixels in game graphics

    Not sure if this is something that I've done or it's just the nature of the beast. Anyway, I have a PNG file which simulates old school CRT scanlines by just having a one pixel horizontal line every two pixels down. Then I reduce the alpha, and draw it over the view. It looks nice, but I...

    USB Port Support

    My friend asked me, "Can a TV with a USB port run a program [Game Maker game] on a flash drive? Without being hooked up to a computer?" Relative to a Game Maker game itself, is it possible to run a standalone launcher of a game through a USB port, hooked up to the TV?
