Libraries
In Game Maker, a set of drag-and-drop actions is called a library. In the Game Maker interface, these libraries are displayed as tabs containing icons called actions. Each action is a GML script or function that users can use in their games. Game Maker comes with a default set of libraries that contain the common actions used by most games; it is also possible to create libraries using the Library builder provided separately from Game Maker. There are many libraries that a Game Maker user may download to avoid using GML to achieve certain tasks. For example, if a user wants to make a simple 3D game but has no experience with GML, they can download a 3D Library.

Famous quotes containing the word libraries:
“To me, nothing can be more important than giving children books, It’s better to be giving books to children than drug treatment to them when they’re 15 years old. Did it ever occur to anyone that if you put nice libraries in public schools you wouldn’t have to put them in prisons?”
—Fran Lebowitz (20th century)
“riding flatcars to Fresno,
Across the whole country
Steep towns, flat towns, even New York,
And oceans and Europe & libraries & galleries
And the factories they make rubbers in”
—Gary Snyder (b. 1930)
