  2. Dec 08, 2017  GameMaker Language An In-Depth Guide Review. Back before I even knew how to make games, I started learning the way most people do: YouTube! There is no shortage of GameMaker tutorials available out there. One of the more well-known teachers, Benjamin Anderson, aka “HeartBeast”, wrote a book to supplement his tutorials. PDF – ($25) More.

Came across this KickStarter, it's already reached it's goal but you can get a copy of the PDF book for only $5, looks like it's going to be a helpful guide for a lot of people.

'Don't waste time searching through hundreds--if not thousands--of different sources to get the knowledge you need to create your game.

Why hasn't someone done this before? I've been looking for a detailed book on GameMaker Language all my life and there just isn't one out there. I've bought and read many of the current titles that exist and they have never filled my need to completely understand GameMaker Language.'

While tutorials are great and can help you out a lot, they are not a replacement for learning how to code. Anyone can copy someone elses code with ease. But to truly learn how to code yourself and understand what you are coding, you need to take what you learn in tutorials and implement it in your own unique way.

If you are new to coding, here is a topic made a while ago with some great tips on making your coding adventures go more smoothly. One major habit everyone needs to get into is backing up your project files! While GM:S will make backups for you, up to 15. It is great practice to make your own backups elsewhere.

Never be afraid to ask for help with whatever issues you are having. Sometimes it takes someone else looking at your code to spot the problem, give you a faster and cleaner way to write, or just figure out how to do something. Remember, when asking for help, it's best to include the specific code you are having issues with. Make sure to copy&paste the code, a screenshot will let us see it, but won't allow anyone to easily test it. And at best, include the project file if you feel comfortable with others digging through your code.

I've seen a lot of this since the Humble Bundle deal. Remember, this is a very nice, friendly and family oriented community. If you don't agree on something someone says, don't downvote them into oblivion and curse them out and talk down to them. Simply offer a counter statement, in a nice and educating manner. Insulting others will get you nowhere, and the next time you ask for help, others may be less inclined to help you if you have been very hostile in the past.

This list will continue to grow. If I missed something, let me know. I'm sure I did.
