DLLs and buffers and pointers:

DLLs, code extensions that can do some very useful things that you couldn't otherwise with Game Maker! If you're ever trying to do something that GM doesn't natively support, search the Internet to see if anyone else has made an extension to do it . . . or do it yourself!

It's nothing fancy, but here's the C++ file I wrote in this video (if you use it, remember to have your compiler compile a DLL instead of an executable!):

Worth noting that simple C++ bits like this SHOULD work in past versions of Game Maker, but more complicated projects may or may not run into compatibility issues.
