I just have a couple questions about using GameMaker:

1) How do you make a character jump, like a regular mario jump or whatever.
2) How can you make the screen scroll along with the character when it gets to about the half point of the screen?

No GML please, if possible. If GML is pretty much required, then please tell me where to copy/paste it or whatever. I'm not familiar with GML.
