Page 14 of 15 Giving Help Even though you know how to play the game, somebody else might not. So you should provide some help for the player. This is very easy in Game Maker. Double click on the Game Information at the bottom of the list at the left.
A simple editor will appear. Here you can type a little help text. Give your game a name and describe what the goal is. You can choose different fonts, colors, and styles. Once you are ready, press the green checkmark at the top left to close the form.
Now when you run the game and press F1, the help text will appear. Escape will return you to the game.
