New here.
Hey all. My name is Alex and I am having so much fun with this program. I have an AAS in software development and have been enjoying this development tool. I have made one game already, haven't uploaded it yet. Simple game where you just catch falling balls, it has a time limit that changes as you catch, and keeps score. Something to get the ball rolling, pardon the pun.
I am currently working on a dungeon crawler game. I don't know if it will be able to do all the things I need it to, but we will see. I am finding out so many differently ways to make things work. It reminds me of my first Basic class. As you find more ways around your problem, it opens up so many possibilities.
Just thought I would pop my head in here and introduce myself, looking forward to interacting with the community.

Re: New here.
Welcome and watch out for "scratchblocks". They seem so friendly if you see that example in the "Quick post" area. I've programmed in compiled/interpreted languages for a long time but this has been a joy because most of the things we're used to making from whole-cloth are already here so I've been able to focus on making games rather than learning a whole new language and things like GML still have too much to learn before you can be productive. Look forward to seeing what you come up with.
