Nice review, though there are a few grammatical errors in it. Sorry to point that out, it’s just, for me at least, more difficult to read when there are run on sentences and the like.

As I said though, nice review. Although my days of actually using Game Maker are long gone, I’m sure this well help out beginners to Game Maker in many a way. I only wish I had this five years ago!

@tuntis These are Jerry's screenshots not mine and surely it makes sense to use IE as I believe it is still the most used browser.
