In-Depth Information
From this tab, we can change the Game ID, which is a unique key code used to identify
the game. We can also toggle on and off the
Use New Audio Engine
as well as
Short-
Circuit evaluations
.
The new audio engine is a completely new engine introduced in GameMaker: Studio. It
allows for positional audio and is much faster than the old engine.
Short-Circuit evaluations
are used to make GameMaker leave an
if
statement as soon
as something returns false. If we check multiple cases in a single
if
statement, then one
of them may return false. In previous versions of GameMaker, the
if
statement would
continue to run every check even if a previous one had already returned false. Short-Cir-
cuit evaluations make the
if
statement stop as soon as a case returns false.
