TOM SENNETT... I am a aspiring game maker.... who uses game maker (liek you! :D)..... did you use drag 'n drop for any of your runman games? Or code? If code, any good place to learn code?

(One of your biggest fans (I have a poster for everyone of your games))

Well, I don’t use Game Maker much these days. Not at all, actually. I still think it’s a good tool though, and advocate learning and/or prototyping with it.

The original RunMan, I think, was entirely drag ‘n drop. Everything after that used code though, definitely. I couldn’t tell you a good place to learn these days… way back when, I would just peruse the tutorials and Q&A on the GMC forums. Don’t know how helpful they are anymore.

The main thing with learning code, or anything, is to just jump right in. If you understand what’s going on with drag ‘n drop, you’ll be fine. Code is just another way of putting blocks of actions together.

Also, posters - nice.
