GameMaker setup with Typescript and VS Code

I wrote my first line of code back in 2014, when I tried Unity 3D to create a simple game for fun. I didn't have any programming experience at the time, but I loved video games. I made a couple of them back then, nothing commercial, just some simple games I could build in 4-5 days to play with friends for a few hours before moving on. I eventually got into programming professionally and landed a job as a Software Engineer, which meant putting game dev aside and, plot twist, focusing on work. T
