If you're experiencing bugs or problems with GameMaker, first makesure you'reusing the latest version. See the Latest Updates sectionto download the update patch for your version.

I downloaded GameMaker, but It says I need an application to runit.

GameMaker is a Macintosh application and requires the user to have anAppleMacintosh computer. It will not run on any version of Windows. Currentversionsare compressed as zip archives. They should be able to be extractedsimplyby double clicking on them after making sure the file has the 3 letterextensionof .zip. Previous versions of GameMaker were compressed as StuffItarchives(.sit file). StuffIt is the older Mac standard of compressing files fortheweb before OS X came along. You can open those compressed archivesusingthe free StuffIt Expander which you can download fromhttp://www.stuffit.com/mac/expander/download.html

No. There might be one at some point in the future, but there isn't oneatthis time.

See the Ordering GameMaker section above.

Why should I register?

Once you become a registered user, I will send you the latest fullversionof GameMaker which lets you have up to 750 lines of code per script(theunregistered version is limited to 15 lines of code per script),removesthe nag windows that ask you to register, and can compile your gamesintoreal stand alone Mac applications that can be run without the need forGameMakeror any game player type of program.

Can I get the full version for free?

No. Please don't ask me to send it to you for free. I can't acceptsoftwaretrades either. I'm not trying to be mean to you, but I spend a largeamountof time and my own money to constantly update this software and providesupportfor it.

Can I charge shareware fees for games that I make?

Yes. If you are a registered user of the full version, you can chargefeesfor your games. You can send your games to anyone or upload them to anyinternetlocation or online service that allows uploads. However, you are NOTallowedto give away or charge money for GameMaker itself.

How do I use the inventory, status bar, midi files, counter, anyother feature?

There is a new GameMaker Guide web page that discuses various features.Pleasevisit the GameMaker Guide page to see ifyourquestion is answered there.

Can v3.x open documents created with a previous version?

GameMaker v3.x can open game files made with any version of GameMakerasfar back as v1.5.

Do I need other software to run GameMaker or compiled games?

No. GameMaker is an application. No other software is needed to useGameMaker.Games created with GameMaker can be compiled into stand aloneapplicationsso that no other software is needed to run them.

Application I created won't launch or shows wrong icon

In some cases, after creating an application, you may need to close thefolderand reopen it for the Finder to properly recognize the new application.Ifthat doesn't work then you may need to rebuild the desktop. To rebuildthedesktop press the Option & Command keys while restarting yourcomputer.

Late Breaking News

The notes below are for GameMaker v3.9.95. If you're using an olderversion,please get the latest update here.

8/10/11 -Application icons for GameMaker and compiled gamesare not being shown correctly in OS X 10.6. They are shown asdefault application icons. Status:Unable to fix at this time.

8/10/11 -GameMaker does not run in OS X 10.7 Lion. Status: Unable to fix at this time.This will be corrected in a future update.

Known Issues For All Versions

• Version 3.x may still have some problems when encountering afull disk (unconfirmed because we haven't been anywhere near having afull disk in several years). It is highly recommended that you use aHard drive with at least several Mb of free disk space and always keepa backup copy of any game you're working on.

• There is approximately a 16Mb file size limit for GameMakerfiles. Creating a project that is larger than 16Mb can cause GameMakerto crash. This is a Macintosh resource file limit so I can't fix thiseasily. Future versions will eventually use multiple data files tocorrect this problem. If you are experiencing a disappearing cardpicture, then you've probably reached the file size limit. Try using GMToolkit to compress your game pictures or use external graphics fileswith either the IMAGEFILE or SPRITE commands.

• GameMaker will not run on locked or read only media such as aCD. If you recieved GameMaker on CD, drag the entire folder to yourhard drive and run it from there.
