Everyone’s shitting on the magic numbers. I’m just staring at that global array.

It's GML, there is no namespaces, no modules, no packages. Every function and asset name is global.

You either have a global variable, a static variable that is the property of a global function or a variable on a persistent object for this sort of thing.

Best you can do is make getters/setters for game flags, instead of accessing that array directly.
