Maps - Data Structures in GameMaker

Maps are useful for associating any type of data with any other type of data, for example a definition with a word. You may have also heard of them elsewhere going by names such as "associative array" or "dictionary." Here's an example of how you can use them! Actual uses for maps in modern GameMaker are few and far between, as pretty much all of their functionality have been absorbed into structs. More information on that can be found here:    • The Struct Accessor - Replacing DS Maps - ...   Years and years ago I made a set of videos about the different data structures in GameMaker. People seemed to find them useful overall but I'd like to start remaking them, 'cause they're old, and in any case a few things have changed about them since GameMaker 8.
