	Well I have used several of these various tools for making arcade
games/adventure games.
 The problem I find is that all of the ones I have used have no way of
making have intelligent
monsters. So the Question I have is in GameMaker how do you define a
Monsters actions?
Is it simply the monster follows a path or is thier a minilanuage so that
you could have the
monster react on the fly to play actions
