Welcome to the Parworks wiki!

Parworks is designed to fix mistakes in YoYoGames's Steamworks Extension that they don't want to fix either due to laziness, or due to lack of competence.

It is designed to interop with the existing YoYoGames's extension, and build on top of it.

You can add Parworks to an existing Steamworks Ext. project with no issues and it will work, plus extra functionality that YYG will only deliver in 2023...?

Parworks conventions

• All methods are bound as-is in the Steamworks headers
• If an array of handles is written to by Steamworks, the Parworks method takes a GML array as input
• If a method returns a struct, Parworks returns a GML struct with fields exactly the same as in the headers

Please see the Steamworks SDK documentation for more information about implemented methods:
