Game Maker Games and Game Maker Tutorials.

Game Maker is a program created by Mark Overmars. Game Maker is designed to help even the very beginner make his or her own computer games. Now it can be a tad difficult to begin with if you are like me and never read the help files. Now I started off with Game Maker and thought wow, I thought I was becoming pretty good, I knew a fair bit of the GML (game maker language) used for more advanced game maker users, but then I started using Visual Basic and found Game Maker so more limited than I could imagine. So I started integrating Visual Basic programs into the Game Maker games, and eventually left Game Maker altogether. Below are some games I made in my time with Game Maker, and below that are 2 Game Maker tutorials, which I would have killed for at the time.

As Gamemaker was the first step in learning to make computer games for me, I think you'll do fine by learning to make games in Game Maker to start with too. Game Maker is an excellent introductory level program to learn to write computer games. If you're like me, Game Maker is the first stepping stone to bigger and better things. In just about two years, I've gone from mastering Game Maker to writing game progams at school in notepad in my spare time!

Here is my Game Maker Bill The Demon Clone I have made for use on the Windows Operating System. I still find it fun to play and is quite close to the original in terms of visuals a gameplay (with a few changes), the level designs are my own, which are not complete. The original Bill The Demon was created by Tim Burton for the Macintosh and he has since released a Macromedia Flash version. The idea and visuals for my version come straight from him so I do not take any credit for them.
