EDIT:

I have restarted the "GML Pro" project. I would have put this in WIP section but since ive already made a topic, I thought id just reuse this one.

So basicly, this idea has been stewing in my brain for a while. I was sick of constantly clicking and clicking just to make some progress with making programs or games, so
I made this. A program that allows you to code in full GML without the main IDE! It's like an external script editor. Now, this is for the more advanced programmers as the SYNTAX is not GML. Im making my OWN sub-language under game maker and that will be the SYNTAX for the editor. But GML will still be read.

Just go through the files that say "keywords.x" etc with notepad to see the SYNTAX, but there is an example file to load so you can see it at work.

Enjoy!

I should be updating this quite regularly, and im hoping im not breaking any agreements. Im sure YOYOGames wont mind since it's not exactly allowing people to make a single executable for export or whatever... Not yet anyway lol.

Let me know what you think. Tell me if anything isnt working.

Oh and you may or may not need .net framework installed to run the editor

Here is an object creator. You put the information into each event, name the object and you will get a text file with the code to add the object into your program. It only uses Create, Step and draw events.

I did the same thing in gm6.1. I owned Game Maker, but I thought it would help me become a better programmer in c++ or other languages since I was only programming in one piece of code. To my surprise now, I understand these other languages are absolutely nothing like gml, and they are actually written in many long documents rather than only one.

I sure do hope this isnt breaking the agreement at all :S

Maybe it is.

1.2. You must not:
...
create data or executable programs which mimic data or functionality in the Software;
...

I think this clause will be a problem for you. The editor is fine, but not so much the runner. Better get that looked at.

Hmm. I suppose if I didnt use GML for the code it wont be wrong. I mean, it kinda sucks that you pay for a program and have specific things you cant use it for... Although making a "Level Editor" that relies on custom coding may get around that. Im gona start thinking...

I suppose that this would get somewhere if you were to write your own interpreter to actually parse typed phrases like "Fill room with sand" as "[action] [object] [with] [type]" and execute that accordingly.

@YellowAfterlife I have made a parser that reads a file from top to finish, and reads the lines as scripts. It is in the Open Source topic.
