Correct: only my asset names start with "fnt_" so typing the prefix only lists assets.

Incorrect: naming your fonts starting with "font_" means you need to sift through 50+ functions before you find your asset names when you're looking for them.

#GameMaker tip of the day: when you name assets, make sure to pick a prefix that isn't also the prefix of tons of built-in functions because are listed first in the autocomplete results making it a pain to find assets. So e.g. I use "fnt_" for fonts and "rm_" for rooms. #gamedev #indiedev

New #gamemaker script on my Helpful Scripts github.

Your game have a static aspect ratio? But you want to draw stuff ON the black bars? This will give you the bounds of the gui event INCLUDING the black bars without having to use display_set_gui_maximize()

GMLscripts.com is back on the air. Apologies for any inconvenience.

My next #gamemaker video series is all about Pausing!
Here's a sneak peek of what you end up with after you finish it. This is done using a system unlike anything you've ever seen in a pause tutorial... as far as I know... I'm not omniscient 🤷‍♂️.

A demonstration of the collision_triangle() function showing a triangle and an array of yellow balls. Where the triangle and balls overlap, the balls are highlighted. To help illustrate the algorithm, the triangle is shown deconstructed into two right triangles of contrasting colors. The right triangles are scaled and rotated to exactly fit the original triangle.

Fixed an edge case in collision_triangle(). Many thanks to @dabestbro.itch.io for reporting it.
