There are times when you will want a larger play area than the window itself. Views can be used for this. Game genres that may require this are
Space shooter.
Racing game.
Platformer.
Views can be set up using room settings or GML.
First let’s set up a player obj_player and obj_wall with sprites assigned to them, resized to 64x64 with the origin as middle center. In the Step Event of obj_player pop in:
if keyboard_check(ord("A")) {x-=2;}
if keyboard_check(ord("D")) {x+=2;}
if keyboard_check(ord("W")) {y-=2;}
if keyboard_check(ord("S")) {y+=2;} ...
