GameMaker (GM) is a game creator with a wide extension of features. It is a popular choice at MFGG, often rivaling the Clickteam products. However, there are known to be issues with GameMaker and certain computers, so games do not always run for everyone.
GameMaker runs off it's own specific script, called Game Maker Language (GML). GML is a variable-based script system which allows users to use built-in variables, as well as create their own. There is an alternative method of programming, consisting of "Drag-and-Drop" icons. These are simpler to use, though are usually much more limited than strict GML.
For even easier use, GameMaker can run in "Simple-" or "Advanced Mode." Simple mode leaves out the smaller details and should be used if you are a beginnner at GameMaker. Advanced Mode consists of the same outline as Simple Mode, though it has more programming choices to choose from to fine-tune your game. Advanced Mode, as the name suggests, should be used by advanced, or experienced, users.
GameMaker is free, with an optional "Registered Version." Registered Version allows for more features, including particles and, to an extent, 3D games. The most recent version of GameMaker is 6.1. Newer versions are in developement.
