oh trust me, .ini is capable, my game is pretty complex and it does the job just fine :D

There might be a DLL that allows you to do that, but it is not possible in GM currently, you'd need to save the vid as a .gif and import it as a sprite, have it play at the correct speed and have the sound of the vid play at the same time.

I think I mostly get the idea and most of the syntax with GM:S it's just understanding where and how to apply them so they are efficient. The game was made on a whim and if an actual programmer saw the code and how unorganised it was, they would probably faint. For any future projects I will write my ideas down and organise my thoughts more clearly before I begin haha

Ok :P
But remember, larger projects would probably require more than what GM offers.
For instance, I was thinking about making an RPG, with evolutions and many kinds of abilities. Thing is, I have -no- idea how to make an inventory and save system :s

For my game I am using an object based inventory, for saving you want to look up how to save using a .ini file in gamemaker, it is what I currently use although I am thinking about switching to .JSON (which you can google, too).

I took the liberty of making a Discord channel for this Steam group. It is a more versatile way to do exactly what we are doing here. It has all the perks of voice/text chat and acts as a meeting ground for a great community. There is a desktop app, browser app and mobile app so you can use it whenever and whereever. https://discord.gg/0118J0cTzDut6TTmQ

Any mod here? this should be stuck on the front page!

"Cue a quick search of Google which threw up a nice formula called Bresenham's line algorithm."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bresenham%27s_line_algorithm

"Basically, this takes a straight line and then rasters it down to a grid, and after checking some of the JS and C++ code examples that I found, it was pretty easy to add it into GameMaker as a script and make my own collision line function from it for grids (you can find it here, if you're interested: GMLScripts.com)."

It might be this article, not sure. Gonna read it: https://www.yoyogames.com/blog/99.

Just so you know, it was in one of nocturne's dev blog posts on the YOYO games website, I used to read them and I remember him having dealt with something like this for his lighting system and he mentioned a name of a tile based system that does what you want but I forgot it. So still searching :).

Do you know an efficient way to make blocks you can't see black in my procedural generated game? (2D block based) I have used simple place meeting checks but they are too intensive for the amount of objects I have.

I've never tried something like this but I think I read something about exactly this, I'll search for it and update you when/if I find it.

I'll take a look when I can, I am really busy atm :(. Also I didn't get a notification that's why I replied so late.
