I don't want to be an anoying freshman, but: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Maker_Language
It does have a language/code.
The games that are made there are mostly very simple, a space-invaders game gets a 9/10 already.
So I see no point in blaming us for making games a lot more unique...
Well that's the way I see it.
The 'coolest' game I've seen was Sandbox of god (made by a dutchman. Hooray), you can check it out but I can't promise that much.
And how do you do that emo-smile? Its not on the smilies list -->

I think GM Arcade is a great idea. Since both tools can generate Windows .exe's it seems like a good idea.

I've said before that I think GM is a good tool, and I choose GE for the Gp2X and mobile output. But that's my choice. Obviously Cactus doesn't have any trouble making cool freaking games with GM. :shock:

( Just because you don't understand tool XYZ doesn't mean it sucks, it means... ah nevermind... :wink: )

I haven't had much experience with GE, but I have seen the GP2X and it looks pretty sweet. Do you guys make any money making and selling games for it?

Also, I have yet to see any GE games on GMArcade, lol. Maybe you should put one you have finished on it ;)

I sent Bee-Ant a PM, his games look rather good :)

Also remember, that GMArcade is not traffic-generating (yet) it is more of a file host until I can get more people using it. Hence me adding development blogs. You guys should register and use GMArcade as a dev blog for some of your projects!

I would contribute if I had an inspiration of some kind, and a little artistic ability.

Lol. Just make a fun arcade game. It doesn't have to be a great piece of 20-hour lasting FPS art.
