Very big thanks to Josh Ventura, for writing the widen() and shorten() scripts, enabling UTF-8 support on Windows.
get_working_directory() will return the Unix working directory on Mac, which defaults to your system root "/". At the beginning of your game, you may change this to whatever you like, but I recommend your app bundle's "Resources" folder, which you may set it to with the GML Script - generate_working_directory().
