In the powerup object <_<

Coding is just like D&D, except you use code events instead of D&D events.

And i sill don't get where to put the codes. so can you help without using codes?

Who recommends GameMaker? And which one?

[Suyo]

Me 50%. If you just want to make simple games, GM is great for you, but if you want to make bigegr games GM sucks because of it's suckish performance and non-existant cross-OS-combatibility. I recommend making simple games in GM first with Drag 'N' Drop, then GML, and from GML you can easily learn other languages like ActionScript3, C++ or Java.

Also, use <6. Since YoYoGames took over with version 7, GM sucks, mainly because the made performance even worse and a part in the EULA which says all characters in thegames you make are copyrighted to them.

[Cyvern]

So the games you make are copyrighted to them? And 6 is the best one? OK, I'll keep that in mind.

[Suyo]

So the games you make are copyrighted to them?

Only if you use 7 or 8. That's why I recommend 6 (or 5 if you're on Vista/7).

OK, thanks much, I'll probalbly start messing around with it soon.

I'm pretty good at making sprites and crap like that.
Or you could just go to Spriters Resource and take some of them [As long as you do what the Author says] like Ronouw did for 63.
