This semester I learnt a new programming language: GML. Game Maker is really easy to use and it requires almost no programming background. The latter sometimes drive me mad for I can't do something more advanced like I usually do in C++ like enumeration. And I think, because it is an easy to use program, there are limited number of information on internet.
However, after doing Game Maker programming for two weeks and searching tutorial/documentation online, I finally found some really nice Game Maker sites:
1. Game Maker Tutorial
This is a great tutorial which introduced Game Maker. This site described the basic use of Game Maker, the idea behind the program the basic operation, and the user interface.
2. Game Maker Tuts
This is tutorial teached how to make game with Game Maker
3. Game Maker Wiki
This site listed almost (I think this site is based on old version Game Maker) all the functions and pre-defined variables in Game Maker.
4. Game Maker Community
This is where I found the answer of all my issue including trick to perform something.
It's so sad that because of the characteristic of this project, I couldn't say a lot about this typing game. I also mustn't put the screenshot of the game in this blog. Nevertheless, I believe I can mention the nature of this game without getting into trouble.
So this is this game about. This typing game is designed to increase cognitive recognition skills and typing speed. There will be test, practice and advanced mode. In test mode the game will end when player escaped one word. In the practice mode player have to try type as much word as possible. In progressive mode, player have to type a short article as quick as possible.
This doesn't sound fun? I did think so before I completed the first playable version of the game. However after I finished the first playable version today and tested it, I found I was attracted to type as many as word before the word fly off the game screen and got as high score as possible.
Well, currently there is no highscore record in the game. I shall work on in next week. I also need to find a better word database management in Game Maker. Ah... there are still a lot to do. But I am happy that I can make the playable game on time regardless the number of coding homework I have this semester. ^_____^
