(The lack of a rich set of built-in datastructures is something I hear GML users complaining about frequently.) Game Maker’ s extension language, GML, is a kludge, and inefficient.
A Linux port is still a dream, and porting to any sort of mobile device is completely unimaginable.
Problems with Game Maker, specifically, include: However, Game Maker (and similar programs the authors have tried) have some substantial flaws. Using Game Maker, an experienced user can write a basic game in five minutes. Game Maker, for example, is an engine which provides everything needed to make a basic game, and an extention language for writing more complex behavior. Libraries like PyGame and LISPBUILDER-SDL wrap more of these low-level details, but still don’ t provide a full game engine needed for writing substantial games.There are, of course, game engines which provide this functionality to the user. Libraries like SDL get many of the driver-level graphics details out of the way, but still leave the user writing in C. The effort needed to write a usable game engine from scratch, especially when dealing with the low-level details of languages like C, make the cost of writing games prohibitive.
