RTFM

READ THE FUCKIN MANUAL

You didn't need to repeat it.

Anyways Ahruon, what I'd suggest is looking up some tutorials on the web. Google will help you with that.

Press F1 and read the help file that will help a lot. Start off my looking at some of the tutorials that come with it as well, those help a lot as well.

I thought it was self-explanatory. Anyways, do as Pyro said. The help file works wonders as well.

If you think you're going to make a zelda game, then I have only one thing to say.

"You're !@#$%."

There's such a double standard about religion in the modern world. Catholics can gather, wear white robes, and say "In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti" and be considered normal.

But if my friends and I gather, wear black robes, and say  "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn", we're considered cultists.

So we cannot help you more, reading the manual is the best way to learn.

Seeing as everyone is bitching you Ahuron. I shall help you. First, I'll explain what each compoment is

Sprite : Graphics for characters, NPCs, Monsters, etc
Background : Graphics for the scenery
Sounds : You can guess
Timeline : Use this for scenes and events in your game
Path : Makes an object move on a certain path (Not recommended)
Font : Another guess
Object : The most important part of GM7. Objects. They can be anything interactive. Characters, NPC, Boss, Items, ANYTHING!

To add anything, right click the text in the left side menu (The one with all the stuff I read out) and click the Add ____ function (The ____ is what you want to add)

Tell me if you understand

King Tetiro, if he doesn't want to look at the helpfile, it's useless to help him. Mark Overmars covered everything about Game Maker in the helpfile.
