Cool, it's pretty useful! Though I don't really know why you would need the real time and real date counters. I might use this in my game! 10/10

Very nice, although far too complex. You could get the place values of numbers like this:
real(string_char_at(var,position));
Really good, though.

Very useful! I used it in Warioland Engine: Extended as the jewel counter.

@Torkirby: You could program a day and night system, in real time!

Use view_xview and view_yview. You can also add
a number to place it at a certain place in the
view. (Example: view_xview+30, view_yview+25)

I can't seem to figure out how to get it so I get a extra life after 100 coins. I tried to get it to work, but the coin counter kept malfunctioning every time.

I recommend you to use a global variable to do that.

Is there a way to change the spacing between the numbers? EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. I changed the value of "myx". And one more thing I can't solve: Why is it that with the coins value, it displays more than two zeros? And I want the coins and lives count to display two digits(e.g. 1 life = 01 showed, 9 coins = 09 showed)

You have to set the variable that handles the current lives you have.
