Manual
The manual that accompanies Game Maker is a document that has information on all the built-in functions and variables available in Game Maker, with the exception of action functions (the direct GML equivalents to drag-and-drop actions), and deprecated variables and functions left in for backward compatibility, such as image_scale, which has been succeeded by image_xscale and image_yscale.
A notable example of a deprecated variable is image_single, which when changed to a sprite's subimage, will set image_speed to zero automatically, as well as setting image_index to the value image_single is set to.

Famous quotes containing the word manual:
“If the accumulated wealth of the past generations is thus tainted,—no matter how much of it is offered to us,—we must begin to consider if it were not the nobler part to renounce it, and to put ourselves in primary relations with the soil and nature, and abstaining from whatever is dishonest and unclean, to take each of us bravely his part, with his own hands, in the manual labor of the world.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Language ought to be the joint creation of poets and manual workers.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
“In spite of our worries to the contrary, children are still being born with the innate ability to learn spontaneously, and neither they nor their parents need the sixteen-page instructional manual that came with a rattle ordered for our baby boy!”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
