Hey!, I've been trying to create a ultimate template (game engine?) whatever you want to call it, so making projects becomes easier.
I've been really into this idea as well, especially after watching this GDC video
So I started this discussion to just have a place for people to share and discuss tools they've made for there projects, big or small, simple or complex, all are welcome!
To Start off I only have two things so far but I plan to make more.
I have my Debug console
you check that out/ download it HERE
and a function I wrote to place at the end of Draw events to just reset all the variables back to default so not everything is drawing upside down in the color red... only the name of my player is
Feel free to use it
But im more interested in your tools and to inspire me to make some more for my own use.
Tell me why you made it and how you went about doing it.
For me I typically have a problem or a repetitive code I write, so I find a way to automate it or make it easier.

GML:
/// @function draw_set_default
/// @description Sets all Draw options to there default states.
draw_set_alpha(1);
draw_set_circle_precision(24);
draw_set_color(c_black);
draw_set_font(-1);
draw_set_halign(fa_left);
draw_set_lighting(false);
draw_set_valign(fa_top);
