Summary

Please note: This unit is developed for GameMaker Studio v1.x available from GameMaker here. Please check your version before ordering. We are unable to support GameMaker Studio v2.

In this unit pupils will be introduced to the GameMaker Game Editor programming environment and begin by reverse-engineering an existing game. They will then progress to planning and developing their own games, learning to incorporate variables, events and actions, and making use of object-orientated programming techniques. They will program player movement, enemy collisions and the collection of objects to win their games. Finally they will learn to test and debug their programs. Assessment will be by means of an Assessment Portfolio.
