rt-shell VS awesome-gamemaker

You can find it on GitHub, itch, or the GameMaker Marketplace

rt-shell is a console that you can set up to use inside your game to help with debugging.

Hi all, I recognize that some of you have been interested in or used my free, open-source debug console asset rt-shell, from the previous times I've posted about it. I've got a new version out I wanted to tell you about. First of all, the downloads: GitHub: https://github.com/daikon-games/rt-shell/releases/3.1.0 itch.io: https://nickavv.itch.io/rt-shell Marketplace: https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/9485/rt-shell OK, so what's new? I fixed some annoying bugs related to autocomplete, but I also added these keyboard shortcuts that make using the console so fast now. They're all based on keyboard shortcuts from like GNU-style terminals‍ like you'd find on Mac or Linux, so maybe not as familiar to Windows users, but I have a lot of muscle memory with these commands so that's why I went with them. Hopefully you can learn them and start being super fast too! Ctrl-A: jump cursor to start of the line Ctrl-E: jump cursor to end of the line Ctrl-Left & Ctrl-Right: skip cursor left/right one word at a time Ctrl-Backspace: Delete entire words at a time Ctrl-K: deletes everything from your cursor to the end of the line, but also copies it to an internal clipboard (this is called "kill" in GNU, hence the ctrl-K) Ctrl-Y: pastes whatever has been "killed" back out where your cursor is (this is called "yank" in GNU, hence the ctrl-Y) I hope if any of you are users of rt-shell already that you'll upgrade and start using these shortcuts to save yourself a lot of time (that's the whole goal of rt-shell in the first place after all). If you're not using rt-shell yet, check it out! It can simplify all sorts of tedious dev-related tasks. Thanks for your time y'all <3 keep being awesome

I've opened this issue for myself to brainstorm, etc. Thanks for bringing it up!

You can download the package for free from: GitHub: https://github.com/daikon-games/rt-shell/releases Itch.io: https://nickavv.itch.io/rt-shell GM Marketplace: https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/9485/rt-shell

I'm in love with Gamemaker, which got me interested in programming: https://gamemaker.io

My 9-yo son has been making games with GameMaker https://gamemaker.io/

It's a popular framework for creating 2D HTML games and publishing them on sites like Crazy Games.

GameMaker has a lot of great tutorials and templates that makes it easy to get up and running. I usually just set him up with one of the existing game templates and let him loose on customizing the characters using the built-in tools. Then I help him customize the game interactions. GameMaker has two modes: one for visual flow editing and one for directly editing the code. It's a great onramp to learning to code with a super low barrier to entry.

I started my hobby game development journey with Game Maker Studio - https://gamemaker.io . Now I've switched to Godot for its simplicity and rich set of advanced features to actually build almost AAA games? if that's a thing.

Many popular game engines use this tiered approach including Unity, Unreal Engine, and Game Maker. However, many free and open-source software engines are released under the permissive MIT license.

Assuming you don't have any prior programming experience, since your goal is Undertale modding it might be best to start by learning how to use GameMaker (with the GML programming language, not the drag-and-drop): https://gamemaker.io
