The Game Maker language, often abbreviated to GML, is the built-in programming language which Game Maker users can take advantage of to add more flexibility to their games.

GML is similar in syntax to several major programming languages, however with nearly a thousand pre-built functions at your disposal, coding your MMORPG with GML is much easier than it is in other languages.

This tutorial will teach you the necessary basics required to code.

Importantly, the skills you learn through this tutorial and future coding within GM can be utilized if you choose to extend your programming knowledge in the future. The transition for a skilled GML programmer to C++ is not so difficult.
