this test was made because I was bored!
so there might be a little bug or I spelled something wrong...please report
and leave a little rply

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

as you know am I not so good at english so I tried to explain so well as I could, but if if can change the "wrong" to "right" please write
edit bug fixed

... 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...

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.

thanks

but READ THE TEXT!!!!

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 .

edit: quote wont work so I use colors

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.

ok

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

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.

edit: typo..

I am a normal gml user.

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

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

what is it?

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)

Personally, I wouldn't have run with the lime green, but I suppose that's a matter of opinion. Overall, I think the biggest problem is the grammar - a good deal of it doesn't make sense. Note that I am not flaming you; rather I am stating facts.

I'd give it a 4/10 - not bad for something made that quickly, I guess...

I am a according to the gml n00b test!

Pretty cool. The music was annoying but whatever. I found this way easy, I did score advanced user the first time I took it but got most (every one?) right the second time. I needed the manual for 1 function which I was unsure about. Like I said though, pretty cool.

I am an according to the gml n00b test!

Eheh, i like answering questions. But yes, this was very easy. Im not very experienced at all, im kinda bad at gm. Annoying music! I muted it after a minute after it started arabian-style and it screaming in my ears >_> But i liked it.

7/10 For the sucky music and easy questions XD

I am a according to the gml n00b test!



It better be the highest score...

You can't deactivate objects, you can only deactivate instances or all instances of an object.

hm...
I know I should know it (I think) but I dont know the different between an object and an instance

The test is, if you use GM, then you are a N00b.

For your information: the difference between objects and instances are that objects are more like a behaviour of instances. Instances are just one occurence of an object in a room, and all objects are the types of instances that can be in the game.

hahah

I am an according to the gml n00b test!

im gonna say this is defiantly wrong i shoudl have gotten n00b

man like 5 or 6 questions i pressed the wrong answer on axedent lol




i only got one star because of that lol

Rather silly... It gave me this:

I am an according to the gml n00b test!

Not bad, but the questions were very badly stated. I'm guessing you're not English, and there's nothing wrong with that, but you should get someone who is English to help you with this.

omg I am a according to the gml n00b test!
I only got the program 3 days!

The questions weren't explaining good enough. And "how do you create an object?" isn't instance_create(). instance_create() creates an instance of an object and not an object. And "how do you indicate that you are starting on a 3d code"? WTF do you mean by that!?

I am a according to the gml n00b test!

This test is stupid.

It was ok. Is it possible to set both a variable and a 'text' in the
draw_text() funktion? I would really like to know :-)

No. You cant just put a real (value) in to it. the text has to be a string (text) like this:
draw_text(x,y,'Money')
But if you want it to show a value, you can turn the real into a string like this:
draw_text(x,y,string(m))
and you can mix the two like this:
draw_text(x,y,'Money: '+string(m)).
but if the variable is allredy a string then:
draw_text(x,y,'Hello '+name+'. How are you today?).

I am a according to the gml n00b test!
This is closer to the real me than other tests have said but I think I deserved 'normal'.

I am a according to the gml n00b test!

this is too simple, it kinda offended me

o,i foregot , here :
I am a according to the gml n00b test!

I am an according to the gml n00b test?

You spelled weither wrong..And I think I did too!

I got 4 stars.

N00B test really... Half the questions didn't make sens and I guessed the right answer with the others being false... But not the question you asked itself... lol

Colors were awful IMO, make them darker
Music is good... You should change the Echoes for something else though... Clearer sound or with a shorter release time would be nice.


Is it wether or either you wanted to spell?

Im not even a user of gm 6.0 registered for 1 month!
I am a according to the gml n00b test!

I completely agree. A new one comes out every three seconds. Stop making them! No one cares!

I am a according to the gml n00b test!


I beat yous all!

LMFAO how the hell did you get that, Alex?

I am a according to the gml n00b test!

And I am not even registered. Questions like where you have to give the name of a function in the right order can be guessed very easily, since Mark is predictable. Like d3d_set_fog(). I didn't even know that function existed.

Skill!

haha ! This made me understand I still know little of text drawing, BTW those questions are easy (no loops, arrays, surfaces and queues)

I am a according to the gml n00b test!

O_O i just started using game maker... and all this stuff confuses me. so i just pressed random numbers and WAALAA
