Functional Utilities with gdash

Use gdash to make your everyday scripting a little easier...

// Reverse the items in your inventory
var items = ["bag of holding", "ancient gem", "annoying dog"];
var reversed = _backward(items);
_log(reversed) // ["annoying dog", "ancient gem", "bag of holding"]

// Get all the nearby enemies
var enemies = _collect(obj_enemy);
var nearbyEnemies = _filter(enemies, is_near_player);

// Or just type a little less...
var playerData = _map_of(
  "health", 30,
  "mana", 20
);

_free(playerData);

Custom Global Events with Event Horizon

Use Event Horizon to add an event pub/sub setup to your project...

event_fire("gunshot");

// Elsewhere...
event_add_listener("gunshot", function() {
  guard.alert();
});

Simple Online Networking with Patchwire

Use Patchwire to make a simple online game...

net_init();

net_cmd_add_handler("connected", function() {
  show_debug_message("Connected to server");
});

net_cmd_add_handler("newPlayer", function(data) {
  show_debug_message(data[? "name"] + " has joined!");
});

net_connect("127.0.0.1", 3000);

Easy Timing with Delta

Use Delta to easily scale everything to real time...

moveSpeed = 5;

// Scale my speed up or down depending on how much real time has passed.
speed = d(moveSpeed);

Painless Particles with Particore

Use Particore to improve the ergonomics of building particles in code...

partType = pt_new();
pt_color(c_red);
pt_speed(2, 5);
pt_sprite(spr_particle);
pt_direction(PT.Any);
pt_orientation(PT.Relative);
pt_life(60, 120);

Test Your Code with GMTest

Use GMTest to write tests for your code...

test_describe("hurt_player", function() {
  test_it("subtracts from the health of the player", function() {
    health = 100;
    hurt_player(10);
    assert_equal(health, 90);
  });
});
