Decent Not a bad start, i would suggest using the D&D function for Snapping to Grid or the GML version, it will allow the player to move smoother though the maze.

Example Code

//Move snap looks something like this if i am correct
move_snap(32,32)
//Now if your play and game is not set to 32x32 change to 16x16

best of Luck Also i have a idea for changing the view and making it a little bit bigger
by using a torch light style. So that the player can only see as far as the light.
Anyways Great Start

Thanks for the help! I love the torch idea. Now I'm going to have to incorporate an inventory. I've seen tutorials so It probably isn't difficult.

Edit:My game won't run anymore and it happened right after I put in your code. I'm so glad I haven't saved yet.

Well im glad you that you hadn't saved, Always backup your game, i will make a example for you with the snap to grid feature so you can just see how to use it:)
Edit 1: Make sure the Player wasn't two close to the wall.

Edit 2: Here's the Example:
Snap to Grid Example GMK
Edit 3: Put in Player Step Event(Remove Previous Movement Setup)

if (!place_snapped(32,32)){exit;}
if keyboard_check(vk_up){direction=90;speed=4;
}else{speed=0;}  
if keyboard_check(vk_down){direction=270;speed=4;
} 
if keyboard_check(vk_left){direction=180;speed=4;
}  
if keyboard_check(vk_right){direction=0;speed=4;
}

No credit is need for the example and code. Just trying to help.

How do you then, using this code, get your player animation to switch from Up, Down, Left and Right?

if (!place_snapped(32,32)){exit;}
if keyboard_check(vk_up){direction=90;speed=4;image_angle = 180;}
else{speed=0;}
if keyboard_check(vk_down){direction=270;speed=4;image_angle = 0;}
if keyboard_check(vk_left){direction=180;speed=4;image_angle = 270;}
if keyboard_check(vk_right){direction=0;speed=4;image_angle = 90;}

Requires Pro!
And the Sprite has to be Centered to work atm..
Ill fix it when i figure it out.
Im new to GML
