How to create your own games

[Xenios]

Hello everyone, I'm going to tell you how to create your own games without any programming skills with an program called Gamemaker.

Game Maker was written by Mark Overmars. He is a full professor at the Institute of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Here he heads the Center for Advanced Gaming and Simulation.

Game Maker is written in Delphi (version 7.0 at the moment). Almost all the code was written by Mark Overmars except for a few freeware components to read different image formats and to compress the data. The Game Maker source code is over 40.000 lines of code. The source code for the runner part is similar in size.

GameMaker can create any type of game, including 3D First Person Shooters, With drag-and-drop actions or with codes
but before you start, you need to know what you are making. Too many games fail because of people not planning their games, later i'll explain how to use it.

You can download Gamemaker 7.0 lite right here
If u want to have the full version of the gamemaker u will need to buy it for $ 20 and u will get gamemaker - pro with new functions to use

There is a game very similar as Tibia. It's called phobos Online, and the one who made it played Tibia before creating it, im not sure.

Nice tutorial. Didn't know it was that easy to make a simple game.

1 thing it isnt actually a tutorial how to create it, you just explain that you can use that program etc. Can you post a tutorial where you explain step-by-step how to create a game with this progam please?

GM is a great game developing tool. I've been making games using GM for years. Very nice for people who want to learn programming.
I'll rate it 5/5
