This is my game maker examples section. It has some things I've made with a program called Game Maker. All credit for Game Maker goes to it's creator.

If there is someone who needs to be given credit, or if there is anything that would be cause for concern, tell me and I will adjust or remove it.

Please note, file sizes are approximated and are not presice, but are within 5%. Some files are zipped, and require some sort of program to unzip them.

Looking to put me in your credits because you used some of my code or I helped you? Look no further than this link: Credits
