As well as game speed, people used to argue that because of this GameMaker games can be decompiled and games made in GameMaker are unprotected. This can cause severe lag, and also sometimes makes it difficult to achieve even a standard frame rate of 60 FPS. This is because legacy versions of GameMaker doesn't actually compile games, but creates an encrypted executable with the game code and a game player. Legacy versions of GameMaker are often criticized for being slower than game engines such as the Clickteam products. The registered version allows for more features, including particles and limited 3D games.
Legacy versions of GameMaker were free, with an optional registered version. While GameMaker does include key-press, key-release, and key-hold events, many advanced users prefer the keyboard_check() function since it gives more control on the order in which things are checked. For example, the create event is executed when the object is created, the step event executes every frame, and the draw event is a block of code that draws the object every frame. Objects can have sprites assigned to them and execute code in events to perform actions. While GameMaker includes built-in collision and speed functions, some advanced GameMaker users do not use them due to how limited they are. The resources include sprites, sounds, paths, scripts, shaders, fonts, and time lines. GameMaker uses "resources," "objects," and "events" to create games. While simpler to use, DnD is usually much more limited than strict GML, and its use is typically discouraged. There is an alternative method of programming, consisting of " Drag-and-Drop" actions. GML is a programming language similar to Java syntax wise, but highly simplified. GameMaker runs off its own specific programming language, called the Game Maker Language (GML).
