Game graphics
An important part of a game is the graphics. Game Maker
normally takes care of most of this and for simple games there is
need to worry about it. But sometimes you want to take more
control. For some aspects there are actions but from code you can
control many more aspects. This chapter describes all variables and
functions available for this and gives some more information about
what is really happening.
