    When I try to test the game, it says that I don't have an INI file so I can't run it. How do I fix this?

    FOR THOSE USING GMS2:
    The view code in player.Step (3:40) will not work, replace it with this:

    camera_set_view_pos(view_camera[0], x – (view_wport[0] / 2), y – (view_hport[0] / 2));

    How would I go about creating an infinite terrain in both the x and y directions for a top down game.

    This isn't a minecraft tutorial, this is a Infinite terrain Terraria tutorial. Minecraft in 2d would be a top down, while Terraria is a platform-like.

    EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT:

    On my computer, I was always having huge lags after finishing project…

    view_xview[0] = x – (view_wview[0]/2);
    view_yview[0] = y – (view_hview[0]/2);

    never use Gamemaker built in views ever again.

    Unless I used two lines of code for views and fps got x5 times bigger than always, this shit is unreal.

    I need help!!!! when creating the terrain blocks keep generating in the same spot and overlapping each other

    I would recommend adding this in the player step event:
    //if moving right…
    if(x>(global.length/2) && cancreate && x >0)
    instead of:
    if(x>(global.length/2) && cancreate )
    Because when you move left… x becomes negative when passing the "room border"and therefore possibly larger then global.lenght2/2…(example: global.lenght2/2 =-800 and x =-500)  thus generating the same chunck over the previous one =extra lag.
    //so in if moving left…
    ad && <  0
    Or am I missing something?

    but what if you want the terrain to end at one point and loop back around say from left to right? i'm trying to simulate a 360 degree view using 2D and need my star-field to loop around when the "cockpit" view reaches the edge of space.

    Lol game maker really do this in java without a tutorial and then you can say you've made a achievement. Don't believe me? http://Www.indiedb.com/games/paradigm-2d that's pretty much it… Didn't mean to sound like advertising but owell

    If you have extreme lag after this, in the Player Step Event, where it says:
    if(x >= global.length / 2)

    Make the "2" a larger number, or remove it entirely. Hope that helped.

    Thanks for the tutorial on infinite terrain. One thing, how do I make sure that my terrains do not generate higher than a certain level? I am trying to make a platformer with random platforms and sometimes the platforms are higher than the player and there is nothing below me but and endless fall.
