Game Maker Tools

As an addition to Particle Designer 1.2, version 2 has a huge amount of updates to it. This program allows you to create 3 particles at once with all of the functions available in GM6+, but it also allows you to create emitters, attractors, changers, deflectors, and destroyers as well. With its easy interface and random generating particles, you will be able to create particle effects and particle systems in no time! You can export the entire system to GML to use in your game, or take screenshots and animated GIFs. It even includes a codebox, which allows you to use most GML to even test as if it was in-game!

Major features:
--All functions for a particle type for a single particle
--Great user interface
--All functions for the emitter, attractor, changer, deflector, and destroyer.
--Generate random particle settings
--Lock settings so they aren't affected by random option
--Very functional codebox for changing values while testing.
--Import a GML file
--Export the particles, a tab, or the particle system to GML

--Save and open PDSF files, which include codebox gml
--Full capability to use external sprites(not saved however)
--Take screenshots of the particle, and even save GIF animations

--Detailed help files to help with using the program, and putting particles into your game
