    Opinion Now that the favicon is black, it's really hard to distinguish from other tabs

    So many other websites have dark / black favicons. This forum used to have a green one and now I'm forever trying to find it amongst my others.

     Code/Script Editor Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl =

    Hey there, I'd love a keyboard short cut to turn selected text like this: var num = x; this_object.attacker = enemy; enemy.attacking = this_object; enemy.x = lengthdir_x(40, this_object.facing); if(this_object.facing >= 270) enemy.y = meeting_place(x,y,obj_bullet); into this: var num...

    Question - Code Tab characters showing up in draw_text?

    I'm not sure if this is a bug or not and I can't find it anywhere on the internet. I'm simply drawing text to the screen as seen below: but when it renders, it seems the indentation (tab characters) are also being rendered as seen here: The tutorial I'm following along with does not have...

    [Solved] "Tab bar" with varying lengths according to text

    Hey there. I've been trying to wrap my head around this for ages now and I think I'm going crazy. I had something that *kinda* worked but I had to scrap it due to it taking up like 200 lines of code (I'm insanely tired). So what I'm trying to go for is a "tab bar" type of thing. Kinda like tabs...

    Tabs

    Got a cheap 200 dollar computer. Want a 500 dollar computer but the pawnshop only has 300 dollar computers, and best buy has 500 dollar computers but they are not good. My 200 dollar computer (from 2014) was better than my last 500 dollar computer (from 2010). Both are laptops and only want...

     Name Code Tabs

    Just a quick suggestion because I noticed it again and it's sort of annoying. It would be nice if there was a little more detail in the event tabs in the code. (The ones that show up at top). Either the object owner of the event, or the description of the event as defined by @description. When...

    Discussion Screen GUI clutter and management

    I'm personally not a fan of the node style workspace (especially since you can't move panels about on the x axis), I like windows better. Fortunately game maker 2 allows for this! But I just wanted to discuss the way the space is used. For instance, this is what every single window has at the...

     An option to add events from "Open All Event Scripts" view

    I downloaded the GMS2 demo, and after about 30 mins of use I'm finding it quite intuitive. I'm REALLY glad that the "Open All Event Scripts" feature exists (when right-clicking on an object). What I was wondering was: could there be an option to add events directly from this view (something...

    Question - IDE Managing workspace tabs for scripts

    TL;DR: ctrl-tab doesn't switch between script editor tabs like I'm used to. Are there settings that help with this? While writing scripts I've been finding ways to set up GMS 2 to be more like other IDEs I'm used to. There's a few things that I haven't been able to do yet, mostly regarding...

    Question - IDE Is there a way to have multiple Event Tabs?

    In GMS1.4, say in the Create Event, you could have multiple separate code blocks or pages. Does GMS2 not have this option? Thanks guys

    Discussion Anyone using an AMD Radeon HD 5800 series card?

    This is the graphics card I am using and I am having trouble with putting tabs to my second monitor. I wonder if anyone else is using this card and if so, are they having any troubles?

    Question - Code Multiple code tabs per event

    In GMS1, I used multiple pages of code for a single event (usually the step event). This helped with code organization for some of the bigger objects. Is there any way to do this in GMS2? It seems like you may be able to get multiple tabs, but I don't see how. Thanks, enjoying the beta so far!

    Legacy GM How to properly create GUIs on Game Maker?

    Hello everyone! I'm quite new to Game Maker and I still didn't find the best way of creating GUIs. Does Game Maker have game objects for buttons, toggle buttons, drop down menus, scrollable text fields, sliders, etc? I'll start developing a turn based RPG, so I need all those GUI elements...
