  • How do I make my character be in the middle of the screen

  • how do I make my camera go full screen

  • Thanks so much, ive been having problems where when i click follow player it would only follow when the player was at the very front of the screen

  • this is weird, almost all of my levels work except one of them that makes all the screen shake reallly fast

    the only difference is the level is a little higher

  • :p :0

  • nevermind, i just read on your page that you're not taking any more questions on game maker tutorials. I'll ask another user then.

  • see their status WHILE in fullscreen! That is to say...
