A library with sample projects and templates to learn Game Maker Studio and Game Maker Language (GML) with proper code architecture
Projects are categorized in multiple difficulty levels:
0 (docs) - Used for documentation, guides, UML diagrams and small scripts.
1 (beginner) - Small projects / Samples for specific solutions or small game templates.
2 (intermediate) - Projects that are slightly above beginner level, such as networking and saving and loading.
3 (advanced) - Reserved for complicated mechanics such as inventory systems, saving, loading, networking, connecting gms to servers, etc.
Who is this for? This repository is aimed mostly towards people that do not have a lot of experience with Game Maker. However, that is not to say that there is nothing valuable here for experienced developers. My intention is to create a valuable list of sample projects that can help anyone with building their solution.
