Copies of objects placed in a room are called instances. Behavior of instances can be modified on demand using variables. All game objects inherit from a base class `GameObject`. A game object is equipped with a default set of built-in variables - position, gravity, scale, direction, sprite and others. This chapter of the manual provides a set of functions used to create, destroy and perform basic operations with instances.

• instance_create
• instance_destroy
• instance_exists
• instance_find
• instance_furthest
• instance_nearest
• instance_number
• instance_place
