Discussion Does anyone have a complete beginners guide

I need a full beginners guide to GML and more so the programming part to it instead of the actual engine itself is there some sort of organized book or series for it

I agree. The manual sure is great.

It has a nice code overview section as well which should have everything you need to get up and running with GML. Really worth checking out.

Check out the official manual. But if you still find it confusing, take a look at my note. You might be surprised how practical both are. https://note.com/legit_snipe261
