Adding LiveSplit support into your GameMaker game

This guide is intended for developers who want to assist speedrunners with creating auto-splitters but don't know how to do it.

You don't actually need to use any external DLLs, all you need is one huge buffer that will contain all the information needed for speedrunners.

Why should I bother?

Great question!

This is the documentation for the gm82con extension.

gm82con allows you to manage your own debug console window for whatever purposes.
