If you plan on using it seriously for making games, you should probably go ahead and buy it. If you're just playing around, I guess it depends on whether you really want the extra stuff or not.

Also, GameMaker's 3D support is very basic. Don't expect too much from GameMaker in that area.

If you want massively multiplayer and good 3D, you should probably look into real programming languages.

im not really trying to make a subOS. im just trying to make a program similar to an emulator or Shockmachine (which shockwave.com had made available a few years back, but is now gone.)

But if you really must know, you use execute_program(prog,arg,wait) to execute a seperate program.

And an emulator doesn't start seperate programs, it runs programs designed for different hardware. So no, it's not like an emulator.

1) Make sure you have a decently up to date computer for GM6 (at least video card). I installed it and it couldn't comprehend mine so I went back to 5.3. Plus if you're willing I can hook you up with a serial, dishonest but free.

2) Massive multiplayer on GM isn't apperently too hard. I got a friend who is currently working on a 16 player online game. He found a way to make it so there's practically no lag between machines apperently. Don't wanna spill too many of his projects though.

3) Hyperlinking on GM6: if its the same as 5.3 then on the object you want make a left click event (or whatever) and then just use a drag and drop icon that loads a webpage when clicked. IPs and mailto:'s work as well I believe.

I'd rather you don't. Mark isn't out to rip people off, he just needs money to continue development. Besides, GameMaker is very very cheap. Other game development tools can cost hundereds! I'll rather give him the money so he can afford it.

Game maker isn't really for serious game making as I see it though. If you wanted to get deep into it you'd be better off learning C++ or something. I start learning that in less than a month so I dunno whether or not I'll continue with game maker afterwards anyway.

lol. I'd like to learn hacking skills too. Hacking is an art. the ability to go inside your or one's computer.
so to a degree, I do hack. but I'd like to learn alot more.

Goop, don't go downloading hack programs. 90% of them contain virus's or trojans that allow the creator access to much of your computer. They may seem nifty but they're not worth the trouble.

The correct definition of a Hacker

quote:

---

hacker ethic: n.

1. The belief that information-sharing is a powerful positive good, and that it is an ethical duty of hackers to share their expertise by writing open-source code and facilitating access to information and to computing resources wherever possible.

2. The belief that system-cracking for fun and exploration is ethically OK as long as the cracker commits no theft, vandalism, or breach of confidentiality.

Both of these normative ethical principles are widely, but by no means universally, accepted among hackers. Most hackers subscribe to the hacker ethic in sense 1, and many act on it by writing and giving away open-source software. A few go further and assert that all information should be free and any proprietary control of it is bad; this is the philosophy behind the GNU project.

Sense 2 is more controversial: some people consider the act of cracking itself to be unethical, like breaking and entering. But the belief that ‘ethical’ cracking excludes destruction at least moderates the behavior of people who see themselves as ‘benign’ crackers (see also samurai, gray hat). On this view, it may be one of the highest forms of hackerly courtesy to (a) break into a system, and then (b) explain to the sysop, preferably by email from a superuser account, exactly how it was done and how the hole can be plugged — acting as an unpaid (and unsolicited) tiger team.

The most reliable manifestation of either version of the hacker ethic is that almost all hackers are actively willing to share technical tricks, software, and (where possible) computing resources with other hackers. Huge cooperative networks such as Usenet, FidoNet and the Internet itself can function without central control because of this trait; they both rely on and reinforce a sense of community that may be hackerdom's most valuable intangible asset.
