The music was good until the weird sound came, then it was a pain in the ass.
Typo: "What does "image_index do?""
The questions were a bit wrong, ex: "How to draw a variable" or something, you should note, if the variable is a string, string() is not needed.
Also, you haven't checked this, I noticed several times that the question was cut because of the width of the window.

EDIT: typed 'the' twice.

I liked it. Graphic's simple but not dull, music suits a quiz and the question were mostly simple but there is an odd difficult one. The only thing I didn't like is the banner your get at the end and some gramer mistakes. I give it 7/10

very very VERY easy questions.

... so how can this program predict you a master if you've only got beginner questions on there? My friend, I would have you on the lowest rank on any n00b test because you have made yet another n00b test; they've been done a million times, they're stupid, useless, and inaccurate. Work on something better, my opinion. Having a beginner, as this program states you are, being able to make a program that can predict whether you're an expert or not, is scarcely possible. You've even used show_message functions with stretched images, an extremely bright, awful colour, used Game Information, and stupid midi music. I understand this may not be constructive criticism, because, my advice is not to work on this; but next time, work on something original, simple, and enjoyable.

These tests are annoying... these tests are made like every weekend...

[Patzta]

I agree... this is overly simple. It does not test your knowledge of GM, it tests if you've read the manual at least once. It has spelling errors, it looks unprofessional, it has annoying music, the default font, and basically nothing to distinguish it from the countless boring n00b tests spewed out weekly. (I may be exaggerating, but.. eh). We don't honestly need a test to know if we are good at GML or not, unless it's actually challenging and exciting to do.

[Mikkelet]

thanks

but READ THE TEXT!!!!

this test was made because I was bored!

I made it on 1 day and it is a NOOB test, so if you are a master you are a noob master, GOT IT???
this test dont rank you for seroius, i made this test becase i haven't other thing to do!!!! take it easy, I dont force you to take it serous. well???

You know, you don't have to post everything you make.
I've made a game using only particles, a 3D game, a online 16 players ... chat, and such, but never released it as I never put any effort in it.

It sounds like you just made it ... just to make it, it is okay, but what is the point by letting us know you made some cr*p in a day.

But still, good stuff can be made in short time, most of that I've released (actually all of it, I think) were made in one day or less than three days, although they didn't get much attention I never was flamed.

First reason is, I've never made a |\|00þ (noob) test. Tests sux, face it.
You should sit down and think of anything that is both easy to make and original, or atleast nearly original. If you are going to post the game/app(/animation) you've made, bug test! The game you've posted is filled with so many errors (the first version you posted, I haven't downloaded the new one, but that isn't the point) that it is impossible to miss them. Of course there are errors/bugs that are harder to spot, but at this point it is alright to make mistakes.

Conclusion: Make something that just looks like you have putten any effort in .

its only you and Rhys andrews(which is always negative over for tests) and some others that say tests sux, but someone think maybe its funny to take a test a see how good they are.
if you dont like tests, then keep away from their polls.

so...If I there are something that are most annoying, its posts like rhys andrews', and I dont say that you ain't free to say what you want to say, I just say that if you hate funny small tests then keep away from them.

do tests sux, yeah right! say it to all of them hwo have a "i am a real new user/new user/novice user/experienced user/expert user" in their signature, and say it to all of them which have a "gml king" in sig, too.
i have tried but original is boring(sometimes), and new games are filled with bugs even after you have got someone to test it, and after you put it on a website, do you still find a little bug.

There were once a topic (in community, I think) about the tests, everyone said they hate them ...
To be honest, those that have that in their sig are noobs, a.k.a. young kids .

Final note, tests prove nothing, they can be so easily faked .

EDIT: Just noticed the quiz thing in your sig ...

I am an according to the gml n00b test!

very easy quiz

[Pretty_Pants901]

That was kind of hypocritical...

I am a according to the gml n00b test!

The test was ok... but it seems that the questions and answers are not random. And alot of the window stays unused... Some transition effects wouldnt hurt and the music was kind of monotune to me (can be just taste). And i noticed that some questions were wrong, or either no right answer.

However, i liked the overal result, simple but good grafics. Not extremely large, but i wouldnt have used the show_message() function.

7/10

Well, he chose to post this project, and its his choice alone, also; nobody realy cares whether you posted this illusionary game of yours. As i think you just said that to provoke him.

I am a normal gml user.

[Kapser]

I agree with RhysAndrews, but I gotta say this was more enjoyable than every other gml test since I am not very advanced with gml and I could finally answer to the questions. This is why it is called the Gml N00b test and it kinda stand out in that way. True that the polishing was horrible tho.

I know some of the answers maybe is wrong or something, that is because I am not so at english, so if there is faults in the text please write :-)

why wouldn't you have used the show_message() funktion

[Daniel-Dane]

It's more of a debug function, and it's ugly .

[Mikkelet]

what is it?

[sir raskasar]

ugly mean... that it does not look nice, opposite of beautiful.

Well for single word translations you could use altavista (link) And you could add some transition effects between questions, and like Daniel-Dane said, show_message is usually for debugging only.

You can check my test if you dont know what i mean with transition effects. (there is a link in my sig i think)
