GameMaker Language (GML) is the primary scripting language used in GameMaker Studio 2, designed to provide developers with more control and flexibility than the standard "GML Visual" (formerly Drag and Drop) system. It is an imperative, dynamically typed language often compared to JavaScript and C-family languages. Core GML Concepts Object-Oriented Structure : While primarily procedural, GML uses as templates and as specific entities in the game world. Variable Scopes : Variables can be (temporary within a script), (unique to one object), or (accessible across all rooms and objects). Event-Driven Logic : Code is executed within specific events, such as: Create Event : Runs once when an instance is first spawned. Step Event

GML supports object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts, such as:

• Room Management: GML provides functions for creating, managing, and switching between rooms
• Instance Management: GML provides functions for creating, managing, and manipulating instances
• Asset Management: GML provides functions for loading and managing assets, such as images and sounds
