GM Mainframe system

Mainframe is a GameMaker system for managing execution of logic within a frame. Its major components are:

• Mainframe events, which allow specific ordering and activation/deactivation of individual actions
• Post-frame processing, which uses the free time after core gameplay logic to perform tasks in the background
