Game Maker

Game Maker is a free, downloadable game creator program that can be used to create 2-D and 3D games. It has a interface that allows you to build games with out typing any code, but the buttons use code from it's own programming language called GML, it also has the ability to place execute script events which allow you to add you own written GML scripts to your game.

Learning the ropes
Like the other articles, the whole reason we put it there is to teach you how to work it. We will be teaching both the coding and how to do it with a few clicks!

Visually
This involves a visual interface, and not seeing any coding throughout the process.

Rooms
A Room is the major point in any game. Rooms are where the actual level takes place, in the game the user plays. The developers use objects placed in rooms to create a game environment. Backgrounds in resources that had been created before hand can be placed in rooms. A room is the only required resource, that is, a game will run with no sprites, backgrounds, sounds, fonts, scripts, or objects but not without any rooms. It is possible to create a fully-functional game with only a room in it.
