GM Knowledge Base Needs Your Help!

 

The GMKB has not been abandoned, it's getting an overhaul and it's taking a lot of work, please bear with me and the new look version will be up and running as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience.

 

As you can imagine, trying to explain every GML function in great detail is going to be a mammoth task, and certainly one I can't do on my own (come on, if I knew every function I'd be called Mark wouldn't I).

 

I'm sure the GM community combined know them all. If each person could pick one function they know well and describe it in detail (along with example code) then GM Knowledge Base could become the definite Game Maker reference help file.

 

If you do want to submit anything, please follow these few simple guidelines:

 

•Please create it in rtf format, this can be done in MSWord or Wordpad (or any that save as rtf format), and send it as an attachment to an email or PM me with it.  This is because you can format the text using bold, italic, colours, etc...
•Any code you use, please put in GameMaker first then copy and paste into your rtf document, this way, the correct colouring for the GM language will be correct.
•Please put the name you want displayed to say who's written it: e.g - Nickydude.

 

Also, if you notice an error in any of the references, or perhaps you could explain a reference better and in more depth than one already here or even if you have more examples for functions already here, then please don't hesitate to contact me:
