News on GameMaker v4.0

If Al can release it before we all become professional programmers.

Hey, Al in gamemaker 4 can you make shortcut keys to do 'run card' one to open the card options, and one so you can go straight to script, instead of going into the card options.
I'm one of those guess-and-check programmers, so I'm going from demoing my game, to my code, a million times, a mile-a-Minuit, and shortcut keys would really help.

There all ready are aren't there?

your thinking of 'run application', there isn't a shortcut key for 'run card'. So every time I want to demo it I have to goto one of the menus at the top. It might not bother some people who seldom demo their GM application, but I use a guess & check method for coding, so I'm usually going back to that menu repeatedly.

ah

Something that might help a bit is using COMMAND + PERIOD to stop the game in run mode.

Thanks I'll try that, but do you know any way for me to add in shortcut keys into an application like GameMaker without waiting for an update?

Hey al, any chance of a spell check kind of a thing. I know it's unlikely, but I don't like to have to open up pages every time I think a word looks wrong.
Oh, and this is a good idea too.

Ok, I'm done with suggestions or you'll never finish.

[Zoo]

Oh, and can you estimate a release date? I want to know if I should be excited yet.

[GMG Kurt]

Will you be able to run GameMaker applications on windows in GameMaker 4?

Hey guys,
I'm posting from an iPhone cuz I'm on a trip, but I think GM 4 should have 2 card script windows. One for looping script and one for non looping script.  If there's a simple way to do this, please tell me.

there already is (in GM 4) and a separate window for repeat. Correct me If i'm wrong, I'm only 90% sure.
