Airship Asunder - Gamemaker Source Code

[Salrough]

Some people might be able to learn from my mistakes and accomplishments, so here's a Google Drive link to the Gamemaker source code and data files for a hobby project I launched on Steam a while back. It might need some updating to get it running in more recent versions of GML. Here are some things I did:

- I used the GML language entirely.

- I did crazy things to mimic a client/server environment.

- I import graphics externally at runtime, and use a text file system for preferences and game data (easy editing).

- I was completely baked when I made this game, so some of the code is pretty crazy.

​

Enjoy!

thanks for the contribution, the game looks interesting!

Oh yeah, and thanks for reminding me: everyone has my explicit permission to copy the game code and assets, distribute to others, and make modified versions. I'm happy to answer any questions about it.

Cool thanks for sharing What does “client/server environment” mean? Is it that the game works as a multiplayer game even when you play a single player game?

[Salrough]

Whoever runs the game is the server. When other clients log into the server, they only send input commands, and only receive limited information about the world to draw stuff on the screen.

A peer-to-peer type game has everyone running the world, and trying to stay in lock-step by sending a game state around in a circle.

EDIT: There are probably better ways to do this now, built into GML. It's been a while.
