Gavin, Game Maker 5.
Saric, which one would that be? I don't recall releasing any, at least not here. And you can't judge something you haven't played.

Stop it.
If you're going to use anything interactive to make games, use Flash. Or you could learn how to program in Java or some other programming language. But stop using Game Maker, that's for children.

| Then you can judge me new one by its screenshot, and tell me if you think it'll be better.

1. I seem to recall a number of very good games made in GM. Why is it for children while Flash isn't?
2. I do know 'real' programming languages, and am currently constructing a C++ 2D game engine based on SDL. I am using GM because it allows me to rapidly put together a game without worrying about engine code. If it helps your cynicism any, I'm not using the drag-and-drop system, only the C-style scripting.

| A C++ game is a larger, more complicated, and more difficult undertaking. I want to make a simple platformer game, in an enviroment that takes care of the infrastructure for me. Sure, GM has large design flaws and is terribly slow, but that doesn't matter much for the game I'm making.

It is not.
I managed to do this in 2 months but stopped the project because of some legal issues.
this is C# but I also know C++
(( roughly 15k lines of code )) |
nice trivial platformer you got there
Not like it's a 3D strategy game or anything

with the example I tried to say this
"Oh com'on it took me 2 months to make a freaking HUGE restrictive board game. Many many many game rules (( you can pretty much see some of the variables involved in the debug text I placed there ))"
a platformer is way simpler than that.

| Why should I use C++ for this? I COULD, but it'd be harder than using GM. And since this is a small platformer, the benefits of C++ wouldn't really come across.
