Have fun

And please do not take the results too serious

IT DOESNT MATTER how long you used Gamemaker. You can still be a n00b even if you use it from Animo.

Nice graphics, effects, sounds and system. But I think some of the questions isn't that much related to gamemaker and the coding - but more very specific information. This test tests you for how much you know about the forum, the creator and the history of gamemaker, and general gml - you cannot say that somone are good in Game Maker from this test... But overall, nice test and knowing stuff about the forums and the history is imporant too... Nice job

[Blijbol]

No kidding!
This doesnt seem like a stolen idea, right?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Well, to be quite honest, I got the idea when I saw the gm n00b test reanimated. But when I did that test, I was called n00b-ish, while I use Game Maker since version 5, while I am a registerd and experienced user of GM, while I made games which even my classmates like! To cut a long story short:

gm n00b test = just fun
gm quiz = more serious

... I think some of the questions isn't that much related to gamemaker and the coding - but more very specific information. This test tests you for how much you know about the forum, the creator and the history of gamemaker, and general gml - you cannot say that somone are good in Game Maker from this test ...

It's pretty difficult to find nice questions for the test. Currently the program picks 30 questions out of 40 in it's database. But if you know some more nice questions, please pm me and I'll add them to the database .

Yeah, I know . I can't think of any right now, so I will post if I come up with some...

[darkhitman]

Some of those questions are quite ambiguous. Ah, yes, and I highly doubt knowing what Mark's hobbies are make anyone an advanced user.

I am a in the GM Quiz!

WHAT?! I've been doing this for almost a year and I never even use the action tabs. I make games using scripts and pieces of code. Tell me I'm a "new user."

Unexpected error while running game.
That came in the version with music. The no-music version worked.

[Heavendragon]

Im agreeing with Robert891, i aint no stupid n00b like it says..

[Sektor_Z]

The questions are kinda not releated to GM (some of them). Should I know what Mark likes to do, to be experienced? Or stuff about the gmc? Its a nice test, but more boring than the gm noob-test, and I like funny stuff more than serious.

[Blijbol]

It seems to be that people with a high score in the gm n00b test have a low score in the gm quiz and people with a low score in the gm n00b test have a high score in the gm quiz. I'm uploading a new version now with 20 new code-related questions, hopefully that will do the trick.

EDIT: upload completed

Great program! But I don't like the results.

I am a in the GM Quiz!

[Obsidian]

I'm a novice? I've been using GameMaker since 2000, and I never use D&D, and I am a freaking novice? Let me ask you, have you memorized how many deactivating functions there are? Or what programs Mark Overmars made or what he likes to do in his spare time? This doesn't seem to be testing GM knowledge at all, just whether we are stalkers or not. The program was smoothly executed, but the questions weren't too accurate to skill with GM.
Good job with the program.
Bad job with the questions.
