Title: Why 255?
Post by: Silverwind on June 03, 2008, 02:39:47 AM

What technical reason governs the max length of string variables? Can variables in 4.0 contain larger values?

FutureBASIC uses Pascal strings for it's string variables. They are limited to 255 characters. GameMaker v4.0 will not have this limit.

Will it have a limit at all?
