PS: Please note to not take the result to serious.

man im not bad. only started gml a few months ago.

the hardest gml test i have ever seen =O

eh thx, i wanted to make it a bit harder as usuall tests ~_-

thx for your replie

i can tell you have a vast gamemaker knowladge.
nice layout, and very proffesional options, 9.5/10

And no, I didn't guess nor did I cheat by using the GM Manual...

Anyways, nice questions.

Quite a few easy ones, but about a quarter or so were difficult.

Good Job on this!

I started using GM like 3 months ago...
it was a pretty good test, some questions were stupid like " what is the best way"
everyoone has it's own way to do stuff...

expect for that it was very good ^^ 9/10.

thx for your replies

yea im thinking of changing some questions lol
but i made some 'stupid' questions on purpose. its not really cool when 'new users' actually get 1 star

i made it so even somebody thats using gml for 2 weeks could get 2 starts in this lol

I'm Experienced YAY!

:/ hmmm what you trying to say?!

lol just pulling your leg

I like the interface on this program, great job.
The questions were good, except that I don't have registered version. You should make an option on the menu for a registered or nonregistered version of the test (each would have different banners). The nonregistered version could have a question or two on how to 'cope' without registered (as in questions about fake particles, or how to have rotating sprites without image_angle...etc).
I really think you should make two versions.

Also, check you spelling, I can't remember where but I think I remember there was a spelling error (or maybe I'm wrong).

Nice job, this is the best GM quiz I've ever seen.

Thx for your replies all!

@edmunn
i dunoo.. sometimes im kinda vague lol,

@RoboBOT
Thx, hehe wow the best you have ever seen wow thx
Yea i was also thinking about two versions lol, good idea. ill try it
and yes i made some spelling mistakes, i noticed them too later.
they will be removed

You spelled "Invisible" wrong, you said "Invisable"

o, thx for that. ill fix it up

That's a pretty good test. Some of the questions were a bit easy, but some were also quite hard. I don't understand how you managed to get 3 stars in your own test...?

No problem

thx for your replie

no i didnt, i got 5 stars (ovibious )
but i posted the 3 start one to prevent people from copying the link lol
but that will happend anyway. hehe

yeah when the first 5 star person posts

yes but that may take some time lol.

u need to have a score of 18/20

Quite a long, tough quiz. Do you get 5 stars by answering every one correctly? And I'd really love to see how many I missed at the end.

no, u need a score 18/20 for 5 stars hehe

and there is a reason i didnt showed your score at the end.
if you could see your score, u could try guessing the answers by playing it at least 3 times lol

but maybe ill still include your score at the end

thx for your replie

Nice, finaly a test where you dont have questions like: What color is the GM icon?

It's a very interesting test



Much harder than others posted before ^^

Wooo Experienced. Mainly know stuff from reading examples, tutorials and other things alike. Good game - How'd you do the thing where it's black unless mouseover

hi, thx for the replies!

@Sheik06
thx, and yes!, indeed. i found that such a stupid question lol

@Kimari
Thx hehe

@Sir_Eddy54
cuz ur also a Sir i will share that with you (lol)

this is the code for it:

if the mouse goes out the window it will draw a black retangle
be sure to place this in the draw event of an object with a very high -depth
and if you use view you will needto replace room_width and room_height

Like most everyone else, I got a



for a rating. Though I'd say it's a little inacurate, as I am unregistered and half of those questions delt with things that only a registered person would know. When I want a mirror image of a sprite, I use image_xscale=-1.

w00t!

and i didn't use the manual, btw in one of the questions you spelt always wrong you put 'allways'

Finally, a test without a trivial "Where does Mark live" type question. How odd, I guess I'm advanced.

YAY

Finnaly a good test based on coding.

Wow this is a good test!

The images have some bad grammar, for instance "a experienced" and "a advanced" should be "aN experienced" and "aN advanced".

Oh, by the way, loved the music... I've got John Petrucci's album as well as all of Dream Theaters; Good pick... Although it was annoying to have to have downloaded it. Anyway, I got Advanced; I'm pretty sure I got 19/20 as I was confident with all questions, except one I idiotically pressed the wrong damn button. But yeah, nice work; except for the music (an awesome song, but it really wasnt' relevant).

I think it far too easy!
And btw ^ is a bitwise xor which returns a+b in a^b!
Edit: use power(a,b ) instead

Its much harder than the other gameker quizes!
i got:

wow much replies since yesterday.

thx for all replies!

yes i know i made some spelling mistakes. and yes i know the aN mistakes in the sigs, but i can fix that very fast and everybody will have the updated version cuz i control the map where the images a stored.

@atom
u sure what u said, i tried 4^2 and it returned 4*4 if im correct lol

@Rhys

u sure? u need 18/20 for expert. well yea i like John Pretrucci too lol. and i iddnt had any other good music with no lyrics lol


i will fix the grammar

and i noticed a bug, the music doesnt loop lol


edit:
Ok i fixed all spelling mistakes i could find.
and the music loops now!
and i fixed the banners, press F5 and you should see the new ones

edit2:

I MADE A IMPORTANT FIX!!

i got PM'ed about that 4^2 does not equall power(4,2)

so multiple questions were wrong, i fixed all questions that contained ^, u should redo the test. u may get a higher result.

plz i you find any bug or somethnig else. plz post!!
the last thing i want is wrong good answers (lol)

so plz post!

tia

[soz delete this post, i editted above post :S]

Yes it was a fun test, required to think. lol

I took the test, but i found some questions that had either typo's or 2 correct answers to them. I think it was only on one or two of them.

And, i also suggest to lower the volume of the music

Finally, a quiz that my sig doesn't apply to. Hooray!
And, as was mentioned before, it doesn't have "wh0 m43d g4m3-m43kr" or "iz ther an create_game() fungkshun"

EDIT: I've changed my sig, so here's the one from the time of this post:

hi, thx for all replies!

well, as far is a know, only 1 answer is good all the time hehe. i made such 'almost good questions', for example:"

there is a question:

You can replace the piece of code: init_game(); with?

A: execute_string('init_game();');
B: execute_shell(init_game);
C: execute_script(init_game);

here it is answer A.
because execute_script(init_game); does not exist, its script_execute(init_game);

hehe

yes, i didnt wanted to make such total dumb questions as 'what is the color of the gm logo' lol

yea, and i meant to make you think in this test ^^

but i might need more questions lol

i got a total of 27 and it will choose 20 randomly to ask you

edit: ok, ill make a volume button for the music
or you could just turn your speakers down

It's quite testicular.

I took it before all those updates, so I'll go take it again. I noticed alot of problems but as I read through the topic today I noticed you had attended to them.

Is the music even neccassary? It just increases download time. The "no-cheating" feature doesn't really prevent you from cheating.

I noticed the music was in ogg format. How did you play it without a dll, well I didn't notice a dll extracted from the exe al least.

Better than those other tests.

Thanks,
-0NL1N3-

this is awsome
good job
looking at the replies it looks like im finally at about average skill... cool

Yay. Great test. Better then the other tests here.

hi! thx for all replies!

lol i tought the topic would die today

@Pytozz
Well the music isnt nessasary... its just to make it uhm.. look better or something
i will make a zip file witout the music file ok?
and yes its ogg, i changed the extension on purpose lol. and yes a dll is extracted and removed again when the game stops
and the no cheating stuff.. yea i know, if you really want to cheat its just that easy. but i want the people to think twice

@-0NL1N3-
thanks hehe

@thenoort
thank you

@kakemot
hehe thx, yes i wanted it to be a test of your skills in gml, without like 'you know it or you dont' questions. like in the gm quiz by blijbol

please keep posting all bug/spelling mistakes

lol and all ranks are posted exept 1 star lol

Cool program!!
9.9/10!!!
I liked the interface...
Here is my results:

thx for your replie.

good score, glad you like my program
yes thx that u like the look of it, i call the green-black look 'the terminal look' lol
black bg with green on it.. lolz

I guess I am a...



This really surprized me because I guess on 75% of them.
Nice game, 9.5/10.

@sir raskasar: i did to my speakers down. But it starled me And i had to turn them down very low

I wouldnt know if some of the answers on the quiz were incorrect when it was made! Maybie make it say how many you got right or something...

Awesome

I think it might be a bit easy to get experienced user as that's what the majority got. iehter that or we're all just great at gml

This programm is really nice! And its definetly better than others (I mean such soft)
10/10
