Native Cursors

Description

Links: documentation · itch.io

This extension enables your games to use system-level custom cursors. Such cursors are framerate-independent and have zero lag.

Use of native cursors is particularly important for any players that might run your game ​at displays with higher refresh rates or with vertical synchronization enabled, as mouse lag can be disorienting for many.

Supported versions: GMS1 (itch.io version only), GMS2, GMS2.3+

Supported platforms:

• Windows: via DLL (WndProc hook).
  Supports cursors up to 256x256px.
  Old systems may only support cursors up to 64x64px (in otherwords, make an option if you want a huge cursor)
  Likely works on UWP/Windows Store native apps, but wasn't tested yet.
• HTML5: via JS (CSS3 cursors).
  Supports cursors up to 128x128px.
  On WebGL, cursors can only be changed in draw event, since drawing operations do not work elsewhere.

Package contains:

• The extension itself.
• Source code (GML, JS, C++).
