Talk:Making Games in Game Maker: Some General Guidelines
From Mario Fan Games Galaxy Wiki
"Use a global object to store global variables instead of the built-in global variable to free up some memory. Do this if you use global variables a lot." - Put that back when you can link proof of it. Currently it just makes no sense. --Miles 09:05, 9 August 2013 (EDT)
In my experience, persistent objects use quite a bit of memory in GM, and I doubt you'd save memory by doing that instead of using global variables. It would be interesting to conduct a test on this matter, however. -VinnyVideo 10:19, 10 August 2013 (EDT)
