It will help you with making a D-Mod. Game Maker isn't DinkC, duh.

Only the syntax is the same, and then even only some of that. Most scripting languages are based on C anyway.

Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
Most scripting languages are based on C anyway.

Hmm, would that be the case? Many languages (both programming and scripting) using the imperative programming paradigm have similar constructs anyway, like for-loops, if-statements and they could share some syntactic sugar like switch(..) and such but C has specific characteristics that other languages don't have. Just because the syntax is similar, that doesn't mean the language is based on C.
