Damaged Examples
Through out my reign of terror... erm, time with game maker I made many an example. Here you can find them! I have only kept the ones that were relevant still because a lot of them were for game pads and GM7 now easily incorporates them
Mega Man 3 Example
An example based on Mega Man 3. Has 1 boss, 2 enemies, a complete mega man engine(sliding) and more! And no, I will not convert this to a later GM version, you can if you wish though
Animated Backgrounds
This example shows how to animate a background. It is not really a background, but an animated sprite used as a background, pretty useful
Coin Boxes
Shows you how to get coins out of a box like in the Super Mario games. The point is to really show you how to check if you under something
Legend of Zelda Engine
