Does this program use true alpha chanels, does alpha slow the FPS by alot?

in the future will this program be able to use Dynamic Link Libarys(DLL)?

if this is not free-ware how much will it cost?

what language was this written in?

how many "actors" will slow the FPS down?

meh thats enough ill be back with more soon.

I don't know if the program uses true alpha channels but it looks like it dose. And transparency hasn't slowed my games down yet.

I know that 400+ actors didn't slow my game down.

In GM the objects (like actors) slow the game down after about 300-600.

:?:

Is Game-Editor capable of;

File I/O, or creating saved files.

compiling, or at least creating stand alone encrypted games/apps that cannot be directly edited using game-editor.

I think the export feature will do that I believe.
I believe you'll just export it to windows and it becomes exe.
Or export it to another platform.

Still the matter of saving

In an exported game exe, can you save your game data,stats,etc?

best example; saving your 39 hour FinalFantasy7 game to your memory card.
