step (Game Maker)

A step is Game Maker's equivalent of a game loop. Various things happen during a step and in a specific order.

A non-technical definition of a step is that one frame is equal to one step, and the Step event happens somewhere about in the middle of the process, before the frame is drawn to the screen.
