Overview of Game Maker

Game Maker Version 7.0 Lite (free version) For MS-Windows platforms

Key Parts of the Game Rooms Objects Sprites Events & Actions Sounds Scripts, Paths, etc.

Rooms Scenes (or levels) where objects “live” Flat Can be used for game levels Has background (a color or image) Can change rooms during game

Objects Things in the game that you create, control, and interact with Examples –Walls –Moving objects like balls Can have many instances of an object Made visible by sprites

Sprites Images used to show objects Makes objects visible Not objects themselves!

Events & Actions Events: things that happen during game –Keystroke –Mouse Click –Collision Actions: what objects do in response –Change direction of movement –Play a sound –Increase the score

Sounds Background music Sound effects Not required

Scripts, Paths, etc. Scripts: small pieces of code used to extend the game More advanced topics

Distributing Games You can give games to your friends! No charge ( unless you want to :-) )

Names in Game Maker Only use letters, numbers and the underscore (_) character

Moving Objects Where is it? What direction is it heading?

Where is it? Game area (room property) X Y

What is Speed in Game Maker? Speed is measured in pixels per step X

Heading direction Measured in degrees: : heading “East” 90: heading “North” 180: heading “West” 270: heading “South”

Your First “Game” Create a room (and background) Create an object (and sprite) Action: When an arrow key is pressed Event: Move object in the appropriate direction Up, down, right, or left
