I am now sick of Game Maker. I want to get into a new language. I need something with lower system requirements, and a better windows interface. And all this trouble with GM7 and Yoyo games is just about it. I have tried using GM5, which gives the lower system requirements, and a bunch of scripts (Gwindows, Nmenu, and some others) to get both of those, but since I'm limited to GM5, there are alot of features that I can't use.

I started looking for another language, but I can't seem to find one that I can work with. I have Visual Studio 2005, but I really can't stand using it. That interface is so full of useless features, that the editor runs slowly, is hard to use, and puts in these files everywhere, and I have no clue what I need. Game Maker was so simple. 1 gm6/gmd/gmk and that's it. It's editor is also nice and simple.

I actually tried C++, but it is really not worth the work. I can't handle all that stuff with registering the classes, and the windows, and all that. It's better than VB, but it's complicated.

I tried pascal, but it's so different from all other languages, and hard to learn. So many things are standard in all languages, but that one's just different.

BASIC doesn't seem very powerful, and there's not much I can do with it.

So basically, I can't find anything that beats GM. Anyone have any ideas for me?
