Rudrabhoj Bhati Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Hello, I was active GM user back in GM7 days. Back then Game Maker was very simple application, it was just an interpreter which executed the program which was packed within the exe bundle. Program had a poor encryption which was often broken and the plauge of decompilation had made everybody scared back then.It have be lot of time since I tried GM specially for desktop game. Those who still use it how much have things changed? Do Game Maker now have a Virtual Machine or a JVM? Or still it runs with pure interpretation? Have they implemented some kind of multithreading support controlable by the user? Or at least automatic multithreading in their VM/JVM/Interpreter?

alieneaters2 Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hello, I am pretty sure they now use Low Level VM now. And I think in one thread Mike Daily said the games no longer held the source code. Multi threading is possible through there using ansync events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
