Game maker doesn't have an ad... It has a watermark....

This sucks ass. Nearly all the questions are out-dated. Hardly any questions have anything to do with how experienced you are with game maker.
And: "How to specify images in the 3D functions?"
"How to destroy all etc... "
Dude, lrn2grammar.

haha, is this stupid quiz or what? Does it really matter if i know or not who created game maker? Does it really matter if i know the price of a key? wtf... and all else is GML... great quiz... couldn't suc more...
It is probably a false positive.
To be sure, you can use the SHA-1 hash to verify that no virus has been added to the file since I published it.
WOW! I downloaded a virus! My antivirus(Quick Heal) detects it as Constructor Worm.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What are you people doing? I wanted to take the test :(

Doesn't work.
Windows 7
"Unexpected error occured when running the game" error.
The BBCode is just, Right Click On The Image, And Click Copy Image Location...You Should Probably Get More Security For That, but no hurry.... x-)
(Not that im gonna say im an expert or anything, thats cheating...)

email me if you have an answer @
jebelli@wowway.com

Witch would be like Intermediate Users? Experienced? only thing that don't match with the GMC ranking. for the "Working With Game Maker" shows Novice and Intermediate Users , Advanced Users Only , Expert Users .

As said before, this is a more of a test of GM history than GM programming.
It's not a mathematical question, it's about how GM approaches the answer. This quiz was written for GM6. GM6 only had single precision.

For question 9, all choices equals one:
sqr(1)=1*1=1
1/3*3=(3*1)/3=1
sqrt(1)=1/1=1
floor(1)=1 rounded down to 1

Dangit... I got a 'New User' rating!!!
I had this unbeleivably awsome idea to sell online using Game Maker... But I think I'd might want to fit in about 1-2 more years of experiance first.

Delphi is a language, it is just very similar to Pascal, isn't it?
I got the 4-star image by the way ^^.
Great test, the historic questions should not be removed. The questions are fine.

useless, it's not a test of programing but a test of knowledge of the history of game maker.

It's Great! I got the Third Rank, Experienced User, and I think that the History Questions should be kept because if you know the History then that shows your knowledge of the Program.
Great Job!

You need to find a solution so people can't just use a different image tag.

I got Brand New User... Not Really, It's Downloading now... No one knows my most commonly used username, though...

Hmm.. i got novice too.
I think it's more related to Game Maker itself, instead of testing your programming skills.

will
Add the "No music" edition back plz
From now on, the quiz also works on Windows Vista.

Well, I think it would be the best quiz if you took out all those gm history questions, because knowing the history of gm does not affect your skill in gm.
But it is by far the most professional looking gm quiz, and somewhat accurate, but it would be extremely accurate if you take out those history questions.
I got Novice.

Cool quiz...got novice though. It would be nice to have a quiz with just programming, but that kind of deletes the purpose of a 'game maker' quiz. If someone wanted to test their programming it would be called something else.

i think is is sorta unfair (no offense).
The download works fine for me.
I'm currently not working on this quiz. It is not updated to GM7. However, you can use the following program to run the quiz under Vista:

Well, I'm terribly sorry for double-commenting, but now I have a legit suggestion:
Have you though of porting it to Windows Vista/DirectX 10?

Well, I just wanted to say that I'm still waiting for a test containing only, and only GML or GM programming related questions.
Oh yeah, can you give me an example on how knowing GM's past would help you in game maker?
Well, I know as much that GM5 used OpenGL instead of the current DirectX interface, which I suppose could help you a bit, but what else?
-Insane
I dont think that it is insane. If you are really into Game Maker then this quiz is a must! Plus, knowing a bit of Game Maker's past can help you out with Game Maker now.

I think it's unfair to have so many questions related to other version of Game Maker.
I believe it should be "Expert Historian" instead of "Expert User".
